DESCRIPTION:(Research) Automated Physical Performance Assessment : Supplem
 entary Assistance for Rowing Coaching\, Simon Fothergill\n\nProviding real
 -time feedback to performers of physical tasks on how they are moving is a
 n important part of a training session and can help improve a technique an
 d prevent injuries.  Automating this provision can supplement the work of 
 coaches when they are unavailable as well as offering an objective and hig
 h fidelity analysis.  This work focuses on analysing the quality of techni
 ques for closed-sports and in particular indoor rowing\, to inform the ath
 lete how close they are to an ideal performance and how they could correct
  any faults.\n\nA data capture and feedback system has been developed  for
  a rowing machine\, integrating conventional video\, 3D motion capture and
  pressure sensors\, and installed in a university college boathouse. This 
 talk will present the system and how it is used to gather data on rowing p
 erformances as well as examining algorithms that  measure the similarity b
 etween an ideal and given rowing technique.\n\n(Skills) Developing with Fl
 ash and Actionscript\, Oliver Woodman\n\nThis skills talk will describe ho
 w Adobe Flash and Actionscript can be used to develop rich internet applic
 ations. As well as a simple tutorial\, this talk will outline how Flash de
 velopment can be easily understood from a programmer's point of view. Less
 ons learnt from the development of OpenRoommap will also be presented.
