 I am Parag Tiwari, project manager here at Akash Lab. I chiefly handle proximity, proximity related activities here. Yeah, it gives me and my entire team intense great pleasure to be part of this Akash initiative to empower students and teachers through technology and we foresee a near future where every Indian student will have a Akash computing device in their hands. And I take this opportunity to invite you all to collaborate with us in building innovative educational applications that will excite and challenge young minds and become technology leaders of tomorrow. In giving you an outline I will like to introduce my developer team to you all here on this side. Yeah, this is the team, okay. The next one hour presentation we have divided into four parts of 10 to 15 minutes duration each. The first session is about the proximity software tool itself given by Ajay. Proximity is a tool which takes pre-recorded lecture videos and the associated slides and synchronizes them on the video timeline and also groups the related slides in themes for easy navigation. This proximity tool has three modes of publish. One is the desktop mode, the other is the web mode and the third one is the android environment for the Akash tablet. So Ajay will give you a demonstration of the tool is how the lectures are edited. The slides are synchronized with the video. After that the second session would be proximity on the Akash tablet. This is the published lectures through proximity as viewed on the tablet. This will be presented by Pradhania. The third session would be given by Nenad. He will tell you about the repositories from where you can download the proximity tool and the other versions of publish and how to install proximity on the tablet itself. And the final presentation is by the Oscar team. These are educational animations, very interesting animations using Blender and Oconse's tool. This will be given by Nithin, okay. So let us begin this presentation by calling Ajay here. Good morning to all, my name is Ajay Babar and I am working on Akash project. So firstly I will start with the introduction of proximity and then I will give you the demonstration of how this software works. So what is the proximity? The proximity serves as a proxy that is it provides us the virtual closeness without attending the actual classroom. What is it gives us the feeling like we are attending the lectures in a classroom. And the MIDI stands for the multimedia integration tool for you as you can see in a slide next. So the major thing about this tool is that it is open source software and therefore anyone can download it, modify it and use it to create an interactive lessons. The second thing is that this software allows all the popular video formats like WMV, AVI, FLV, MPEG, MP4 and therefore we do not need any video format conversion. Using this software we can create or professor or teacher can create interactive lectures using by synchronizing the lecture video with its respective slides according to the timeline information with respect to the video. So that was the introduction part of the proximity. Now I will show you the demonstration of the proximity tool. I am going to show you the how to edit the lecture and publish it. So this is our proximity tool. In the upper side we have the different menus for creating a new project we will go to the file, we have the new project and exit menu. So for creating a new project we will go to the new project. Here you can see the new project window of our proximity tool. So this frame shows the video player and in which we are going to load our lecture video. Now this rectangle this frame shows this frame is a slide show which shows the slide at a time and this frame this frame shows all the thumbnails of the slides which we are going to import from the hard disk. And now this frame using this frame we can create the links for extra reference and this frame shows the binding information or a timing information of the slides. There are four steps to how to use this software. Firstly import the videos and slides, second bind it or synchronize it with respect to the timeline information with respect to the video and then publish it and then give the lecture. Now for importing the lecture video we will go to the import main video hard disk. So this is your this is the file explorer of your computer select the video. So this is the video we are going to load it. So click on a load now you will get the message as the video has been loaded click it on ok. Then similarly we will import all the slides related to that lecture video. So this is your file explorer select all the slides now for the demonstration purpose I am selecting some random slides. So as you can see on the slide thumbnails tab all the thumbnails of the slides has loaded. Now when you click on and you can click on any one of the thumbnail so click it on. So the slideshow frame shows the thumbnail in a bigger size and this is the first slide we are going to bind it with a video. So here we have a start time button when I will click on start time button it will capture the starting time of this slide that is introduction to SQL. So when I click on a start time button video will also start click on a end time to capture the ending time. So here you can see we got the details of timing we got the timing information of synchronization theme name we have the theme. Ending is a basically a collection of related slides grouped under one and the next one we have the slide name here the slide name which is a name of the slide start time which is the which is the starting time of that slide and the end time which is the ending time of the slide. So you can see that introduction to SQL will be played between the starting time 0000 and ending time 2 minute 52nd and after that it will disappear that is it will move to the next slide like that I will bind or synchronize some slides I have selected the history click on start time drag the slider to go to the particular ending time click on a end time to capture the ending time like that I will bind some more slides for the demonstration purpose I am binding only 4 slides now you can see here that you have got the all the details of the slides of the bindings that is we have the theme slide names and start time and end time as explained earlier. I can edit the theme name by clicking by double clicking on it and I will write the theme name as introduction I will do for the second and the rest of the two slides. So here you can see the introduction has appeared for two times that means the two slides belongs to the one topic introduction that is one theme name. So we also have the delete button if you done some mistake we can delete the some row and add it again now we will create some links for extra reference we can give any link which it can be open document PDF or we can give any web address now I am now I have given the link name as SQL PDF and now I am giving it is URL now I will click on add button you can see that the link has created now before publishing or before finalizing our editing we will go for the preview mode to check whether we did correctly or not whether we have synchronized correctly or not. So we will go to the mode preview so this is the preview mode of our proximity tool you can see the links that we have just created this is the themes and the respective slides in a tree structure format. So for starting the video click on a play button video has been started and you can notice that we have synchronized the video with the slides the video is also jumping to the respective time. So I am assuming that I have edited correctly now I will go to go back to the project mode that is editing mode here I can again add some more slides I can again edit now I will publish the lecture go to the publish publish menu go to the desktop and this is the window for entering the details of currently editing lecture. So we have the course name I will write it as DBMS that is a database management system presentation on SQL lecture title is introduction to SQL speaker of this lecture a professor any professor and the contact can be the email ID click on ok and save the project where you want to save that is select the directory this is your file explorer of your computer give the project name and save it now open the saved project where you have saved click on a test multiplayer dot jar file now this is the desktop version of our proximity tool now the lecture has started you can see the tree structure themes and slides in the upper side we have all the details what we have filled just now. So this is the themes and its respective slides you can see that some themes we have divided in one topic and you can also notice that we have synchronized the lecture now this is the this window will be will be visible to the end user or to the professor who wants to view the lecture we also have the SQL PDF link and it will open in a appropriate application you can again play. So this was the desktop version of our proximity now I will show you the web version of our proximity which we have built using or which we have developed using the html file. Let us assume that we have some already edited lecture in uploaded on a server and we are going to find one lecture from the server using this utility you can see we have the title proximity and we have the search box and we can enter the keywords related to that lecture. So I will write aerospace you can see there are auto coming options I will select one of them now we got the three result and we can click any one of them. So I am clicking any one of them lecture and one more thing we can also filter this result by entering the some more keywords like suppose I am entering the part now it will again give me the options I will select the part 2 you can see I got the result of the combination of aerospace and the thumbnail turbines part 2. So I will click on lecture you can see this is our web version of proximity click on a play the lecture has played you can navigate through the slides. The similar thing now you notice that the slides are coming in the video also. So for that we have updated our this web version to this look and feel. So here we have only video we do not have any slides click on a play we can navigate through the slides we also have the starting time and ending time. So this is our web version I am giving you the download links of this software. So we are welcoming you to download the proximity and use it to create an interactive election. So we have the two links for the desktop version and for the web version of our proximity.
