“FYP
is hell. FYP kills your soul. FYP is a good slimming pill. FYP changes your
life!”
Ever
heard of this from your seniors???? Yeah, that’s what FYP is capable of. Fret not
about the killing your soul part cause DIT course manager will provide you guys
with Project Management skills that will guarantee you a smooth FYP journey… But
what exactly is FYP?
FYP
stands for Final Year Project. It is a high weightage ‘module’, compulsory for
all Year 3s students in polytechnic education. In summary, you just have to
give your best, plan well and do what you are supposed to during this period of
time and you will WIN over the FYP fear~
That’s
what Empire Studio does- Plan,
Execute, WIN.

DIT HOT option FYP group Empire Studio tries out the first 21st century
technology device, the PixelSense for Singapore Tourism Board.
Samsung
40-inch SUR40 with Microsoft PixelSense brings people together to connect,
learn and decide with a stunning 360 degree interface. The SUR40 sees and
responds to touch and real world objects.
Empire Studio: “Through this
project, we want to let users of the Microsoft® PixelSense™ know how the surface works by just a Touch.
They can also save information from the PixelSense and gain discount vouchers,
etc. Overall, it is a prototype for tourist to get to know Singapore better.”

What
Empire Studio has to say:
“Overall
we find that this project is a success. Our client, Singapore Tourism Board is
impressed with our prototype and is looking forward to a better and refined
SGTour.”
“One
biggest constrain however, is that we are always lacking resources such as
databases, PixelSense coding references, etc. So for those taking over this
project, they must love exploring and am striving enough to overcome many
obstacle when doing this project.”
“We
quarreled, we stayed back, we lack sleep, we eat a lot and also bonded
ourselves together. This is what it is like to be during FYP and we are
grateful that we can helps along the way. Million thanks to our supervisor,
Chanon Kulchol, the school and Singapore Tourism Board.”
Quarrel
or not, Empire Studio has successfully won over the FYP fear and gain
themselves the trust from SP-DMIT's and supportive client. Be sure to be back for more improved project with DIT.
