Abstract Virtual Reality has been around since the 1960’s but it was a very expensive technology until Oculus and Google released the Oculus Rift and the Google Cardboard VR headset in 2015 respectively. These releases have made virtual reality more affordable and there has been an increase in apps and materials to develop content. The Virtual Chemistry Lab is a mobile application in VR that aims to allow to students simulate experiments in a virtual lab via the Google Cardboard. The focus ...
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY With increased competition in the hospitality industry, many hotels have had their fair share of struggles to be the number one option in their customer’s mind. Due to this competition, pricing is no longer an essential but rather quality services and experiences. With Tenack Beach Resort’s vision in upgrading its star rating by 2020, it is on course in improving its facilities and experiences, but through research, a gap in their services was discovered. The project was...
ABSTRACT As the world increasingly progresses towards a technology driven environment, the legal sector is not to be left behind. In the past years, clients got to know about lawyers through recommendation and at the same time lawyers had a challenge reaching out to their clients. Work was slow and tedious as research was conducted on dusty and old textbooks. The basis of this project is to bridge the technology gap between the lawyers and advocates in Africa. Firms that deal with legal servi...
Abstract As a middle income country, Ghana has made formidable strides in improving health care delivery in the country. Notable among them is the introduction of the Community Health and Planning Services system. This system was adopted to increase access to and use of health care services by setting up health centers known us CHPS zones in the remote communities where it is particularly difficult for Ghanaians to receive proper and timely medical attention. These health centers are manned b...
ABSTRACT Inventory management is key in every business setting. Proper inventory management helps businesses to reduce cost and maximize profit. Hence, this project seeks to design and build a user-friendly inventory management system that will work on a web platform to allow the staff of Dzigua Enterprise in Accra to key in inventory details for their various agricultural products. The staff should be able to key in inventory received and removed either for processing or sales to allow for t...
ABSTRACT Computer Role-Playing Games (CRPG) are a genre of video games were the player controls at least one character, the character has attributes and relationships with other game objects and is important to the story. They are one of many entertainment media that have storytelling as one of its major components. The better the story component of a game the better the gameplay experience is. This project explores an approach to improving gameplay of RPG games by personalization of game sto...
Abstract This paper evaluates the performance of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) scheme, a genetic algorithm, as used in Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In doing so, the protocol is implemented and compared to round-robin, a contention-free protocol that makes sensor nodes take turns in sending their data packet to the sink, and a p-persistent CSMA protocol with a p-value of 0.01. The concept of p-persistence as used in the CSMA protocol is emp...
Abstract Medical diagnosis of diseases like Malaria and tuberculosis still use microscopy as a standard, but this procedure is usually very tiring for pathologists and health workers as it imposes much stress on their vision. Due to the fatigue that health workers get from this process, they might end up misdiagnosing a case. In most Rural areas of Cameroon and Ghana, there are no qualified personnel to do these diagnoses. Moreover, according to the World Bank, malaria still kills millions of...

Abstract This paper examines the implementation of a navigation and tour planner module using a drone as a tour guide. The project is a buildup on a subsequent project during a robotics class project at Ashesi University College. This was to aid the admissions team reduce pressure on Student Ambassadors and to also have tour guides available at all times. This paper describes the implementation of the navigation and tour planning modules. Planning a tour is formulated by the Wavefront Algorit...

Abstract The Bluetooth Specifications Group recently released a new version of Bluetooth, called Bluetooth Low Energy. It is ideal for battery-powered IoT devices that do not require continuous streaming of information because it is more power efficient and relays information in short bursts, rather than continuously. The asynchronous nature of communication between the Bluetooth Smart nodes introduces a new challenge in terms of routing data among the different nodes. This project developed ...
Abstract Technology has been a useful tool in the way we transcend our limitations as human beings. In the transport sector, we have seen remarkable improvements such as the variety of modes through which we travel as well as the applications that make planning our journey more easy and effective. Transit planning applications have been used in developing countries to make sense of their transportation systems and to help people travel in more effective ways. However, most of these applicatio...
