Web navigation designer
Idea
Develop a Flex application to allow a number of remote users to drag and drop web page categories into groups – the application then generates the optimal grouping for tree navigation of the site.
This could be extended to distributed brainstorming if users were allowed to dynamically create categories.
Could also be extended using a little image processing to process photos of collections of posit notes – each posit note containing an idea from a brain storming session. Users could then organise them into groups individually – the aggregate result being presented (as a dendrogram or other cluster representation).
Project
Use Flex list components (advanced data grids) to allow users to drag and drop categories together. Then apply something called dendrogram analysis to combine and show optimal grouping. This would be similar in many ways to WebSort
Skills required
Flex application so basic programming skills required.

Web application: Genetic Algorithm assisted Photographic Flickr Collage Generation
Goal
To develop highly interactive, cool web application that allows users to quickly generate a range of collages of Fickr photos using Flickr tags and image features.
Idea
- Browser application in which user selects Flickr photos using tags, browsing etc.
- The images are laid out in a collage and displayed to the user using some simple rules e.g. images with 50% light sky should be at the top, images containing bright primaries should be at the front, images with similar Flickr tags.
- Simple effects should be occasionally applied to the images – e.g. sepia, blurring, distortions, hue adjustments etc.
- The user presses a “reshuffle” button and a new collage is produced.
- If the user presses the button quickly then the collage receives a low score, those that the user lingers on receive a high score.
- A genetic algorithm is used to generate new collages which are combinations of old (popular) collages.
- At any point the user may ‘drag’ images into new positions or ‘zoom’ them to new sizes. These actions cause automatic repositioning of surrounding images using simple dynamics to give the photographs ‘weight’.
