Review on Group Presentation: Intellectual Property (Group 2: GeriAmbience)

The second group presented on the same topic, Intellectual Property (IP) was GeriAmbience. Similar to the first group, the team provided basic information on IP, explained the definition of IP, described the types of IP and answering why consider IP. The team has elaborated on their points and it was clear that the members have prepared their individual parts well.

          The overall oral presentation was quite engaging and managed to connect and capture the attention of the audience. The team was able to engage with the audience that made the presentation more interesting compared to the first group. The members expanded their points from the slides they have and I thought that was good because I was not distracted by the words on the screen.

          The written presentation was done using PowerPoint slides. It was simple and neat. The topic and subtopics were presented in short point forms and that was really good to have a short point form and elaborate on in. However, at the visual aspect, the colour scheme does not really go well, they had a dark blue background with orange colored heading and white colored text. I think the team could have used a different colour scheme instead of the one they used.

          In terms of distinctiveness and specificity of examples, I thought the group did well because they always refer back to their project and mentioned the group usage of IP; they are usingCryEngine3, Microsoft Kinect for Windows, Arduino which I thought was relevant and have provided connection between their project and the topic they were presenting on.

          The context was informative however at some parts the elaboration and details were not clearly delivered. I do find some parts helpful for example the 4 steps to obtain permission, IP that does not require permission to use and IP for example copyright, trademarks and circuit layout and IP that needs permission to use it such as patents and designs. The one thing that I have noticed throughout the presentation was no images were provided to support their statement or to make the presentation slides visually appealing thus no references were used because they did not use images in their presentation.
