ABSTRACT Monsters Within is a fun 3D FPS horror survival game on the Windows platform that demands its players to have fast reflexes, quick thinking and deductive skills to survive in the game environment they have been thrust into; distorted humanoid creatures have overrun the city and continue to rapidly multiply. The player’s main objective is to circumvent this by destroying all nests in the vicinity. The quantitative research methodology was used to analyse the feasibility for the succ...
ABSTRACT The proposed thesis is designed to be an online Baze University past question archiving system. The use of technologies has become critically important in the era of the Coronavirus pandemic which has required off-campus distance learning by students of Baze university. With no access to staff and on-campus facilities, the availability of easily accessible online study material has become critical. This project aims to provide students with the necessary materials needed to aid with ...
ABSTRACT Assistive technologies to aid the visually impaired have evolved over time from screenreading software, magnification programs and daisy book readers, there are a plethora of devices to aid the visually impaired in their daily activities. Despite the established utility of such devices they face certain limitations that have hindered their widespread adoption, such as cost, stigma attached to using the product in public, and lack of continued support for the product. In this time sma...

Efficient face recognition algorithm is required to accomplish such task. Face recognition is one of the most active research areas in computer vision and pattern recognition with practical applications. In present networked world, the need to conserve the security of information is becoming both increasingly significant a...
ABSTRACT child daycare system is the care of a child during the day by a person other than the child’s legal guardian, basically performed by someone outside the child’s immediate family. it is typically ongoing for a specific period, such as parents work time. the system will be used to register a child, monitor and verify who drops and picks the child, log of child’s activity, parents/guardian details, parents will be able to update a child’s details (e.g. record allergy, drug admin...
ABSTRACT Online Social Networks (OSN) provides active space for digital human interaction and are used daily. Human engagement is reflected by exploiting the dynamics of OSN, where the fundamental problem is to infer future interactions on the network, called link prediction. Most studies have employed classical algorithms which consider node similarity but neglected the link analysis algorithms which consider topological structure. This study focused on the comparative study of predicting r...

Abstract This work reports on the Web-based undergraduate mathematics tutor developed by the author for use by the undergraduates of the Computer science department in higher educational institution. It briefly analyses the traditional method of teaching undergraduates mathematics and uses ideas so gathered to design a new one. The new method allows students to learn mathematics interactively, and at their own pace via technologically-based system. Their understanding in mathematics will inc...
Teaching indigenous knowledge (IK) to African youth has become more complicated due to a variety of reasons such as urban migration, loss of interest in it, the dominance of scientific knowledge and the technological revolution. Therefore, there is a considerable movement towards using technologies to safeguard IK before it becomes obsolete. It is noteworthy that research conducted and software development perspectives being used are mainly based on Western worldviews that are inappropriate f...
Abstract Wide varieties of trading methods are rapidly being replaced by the use of computers and communications networks the world over.

ABSTRACT Asterisk is a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) software used to connect telephony applications such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). In the Department of Computer Science at the University of Namibia (DCS-UNAM), Asterisk is currently set up to provide basic VoIP services to staff and students. However, this system currently has limited accessibility because it can only be accessed with VoIP clients such as hard and soft phones. Alternatively, Browser-based VoIP clients (BBVCs) c...
Abstract Point cloud classification has been shown to effectively classify points in 3D scans, and can accelerate manual tasks like the removal of unwanted points from cultural heritage scans. However, a classifier’s performance depends on which classifier and feature set is used, and choosing these is difficult since previous approaches may not generalise to new domains. Furthermore, when choosing training scans for campaign-based classification, it is important to identify a descriptive s...
