Please refer to the above.

Changes to your project requirements and justification (if applicable).

Objectives report: (A report back on your objectives and whether or not they have been achieved).

Achieved.

Learning experience: (A discussion on what I have learnt about myself, Digital Stream Limited, or about work life in general, during this report time period).

Even over distance, Digital Stream staff members support each other (including myself) very well (I sense no animosity or reluctance to help others). Being apart of the changes (in ways of doing things in Auckland, for instance they are now all home or mobile; similar to myself) within Digital Stream, has been great to hear feedback from others (positive and cost-effective/ makes simple sense for everyone etc).

Reflection on issues: A discussion on any incidents that happened in your job during this report period. This will include reference to how you reacted and handled the issue.

Relate any issues to specific learning experiences from past coursework that helped you deal with these incidents (if applicable).

No major Issues to report this week.

Progress evidence: (please refer to the following images).

Instructions provided to Digital Stream Limited (Russel Brown), for access to the app, via Google Drive:

Click the above folder.

The above illustrates there are two kinds of apps available (“Augmented Reality Apps” and “non-Augmented Reality apps”).

The highlighted folder (above) has all the content for a direct app (folder to folder…PC to Android phone via USB 2.0/3.0 transfer*). Please feel free to contact me, if you have any issues downloading.

The PC MAC Linux folder (above) contains the SPCA PC Ver_Data and SPCA PC Ver.exe. you will need to download both of these items into one folder (once this is down, you simply click on the SPCA PC Ver.exe and the PC version [it should be compatible with PC MAC Linux] should run [mouse clicks and movement gestures replaces smart mobile device touch screen; finger movements and actions*]).

The illustration above is a brief glance of the Gantt Project and chart developed to monitor and consistently refer to and review this project.
