SleepTrackCam
Utilizing the Animoto web site a simple video was created (Animoto, 2017). The default music utilized was royalty free. Clipart used in the video was retrieved from a royalty free clipart collection website (Openclipart, n.d.). The approach utilized was to tell the story of a fictions Internet of Things (IoT) device named SleepTrackCam. The idea is that a device with a camera, microphone, and various sensors would monitor sleep. To avoid privacy and security concerns processing would occur locally (edge computing). The video has been published to my blog http://alandennis.blogspot.com/2017/06/sleeptrackcam.html for those who are interested.
Having used Animoto, it raises questions regarding how presentations should be done. Typically, a PowerPoint presentation has a great deal more text on each slide than Animoto allows. Perhaps that is beneficial. The use of images and simple text slides may transfer knowledge in a more succinct way. The process requires considerable thought, comparable to expressing a complex idea in a tweet.
