Seems like some of our students aren’t just savvy programmers – they’re also musicians!
Subhodip Mandal, a Year 3 #NUSComputing student, recently released a new song titled “Beyond a Doubt”. Subhodip also sang at an online welcome session for freshmen in August this year, and we hear that he was a hit with students! 🎶
Subhodip was also involved in building a Virtual Instrument Percussion System (known as "VIPS"), where smartwatches were used to detect hand gestures through an app and produce corresponding drumbeat sounds over an audio player. 🥁

🎶 Walk this way! 🎶
Strut. Shuffle. Sashay.🚶🏽🕺🏻💃🏽
Did you know that the way you walk (i.e. your gait) can reveal important information about your health? For example, medical professionals study gait to learn how certain patterns can be indicators of diseases such as Parkinson’s, and sport scientists analyse gait to help track and improve the performance of their athletes. These studies, however, are usually conducted in labs, using large, heavy and expensive equipment.
Enter NUSComputing Lecturer, Dr Boyd Anderson who recently developed a mobile gait analysis device using ultra wideband technology as an alternative that will allow these gait analyses to be done easily, effectively and naturally as part of the patients and athletes’ everyday routines!
