Mickulicz, Priya Narasimhan, Rajeev Gandhi YinzCam, Inc. / Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract YinzCam allows sport fans inside NFL/NHL/NBA venues to enjoy replays and live-camera angles from different per- spectives, on their smartphones. We describe the evolu- tion of the system infrastructure, starting from the initial in- stallation in 2010 at one venue, to its use across a dozen venues today. We address the challenges of scaling the system through a combination of techniques, including dis- tributed monitoring, remote administration, and automated replay-generation. In particular, we take an in-depth look at our unique automated replay-generation, including the dash- board, the remote management, the remote administration, and the resulting efficiency, using data from a 2013 NBA Playoffs game.

    meeting of the Carnegie Mellon University Undergraduate Research Office minds www.cmu.edu/uro Meeting of the Minds Spring 2009 Ideas Bubbling? eeting of the minds carnegie mellon undergraduate research symposium M presented by the undergraduate research office elcome We welcome you to our 14th annual Meeting of the Minds. This is an especially important year. Our Undergraduate Research Office, which sponsors Meeting of the Minds, is celebrating its 20th anniversary. A far-thinking Associate Provost, Barbara Lazarus worked very hard to establish an undergraduate research program in 1989. The result is a nationally recognized and flourishing Wundergraduate research office. There is a lot to see and hear today. The abstracts in this booklet provide a good map to begin your journey. Be prepared for the descriptions to come alive in novel ways. Whether you travel through the poster displays, or attend a few oral presentations or watch a demonstration or visit the art gallery, you won’t be disappointed. Consider taking some time to dabble in an interest. Or explore something completely new. Feel free to visit a friend’s project or someone you don’t know at all. Whatever path you choose, you will find a broad range of interesting research across all of the disciplines. There are two important times to keep in mind. At 2:30, Indira Nair, Professor in Engineering and Public Policy and Vice Provost for Education, will deliver a short keynote address in the first floor Kirr Commons area. We will also hold a drawing in celebration of our 20th anniversary. Just as importantly, at 5:00 pm, our Awards Ceremony begins in McConomy Auditorium.
