The life cycle of motivation is very short. The dictionary meaning of the word ‘motivation‘ is amusing: venerable Oxford dictionary defines it as a reason or reasons for acting or behaving in a particular way. Making sure your goals are achievable is just as important as anything else. There's no point setting a perfect goal if it's unachievable, as you'll fail before you start. E.g. "become a better developer" vs "become the best developer in the world". This also applies to the other areas of SMART, for example: "get 100% code coverage" is specific, but probably not achievable and "get from 50% to 80% coverage by the end of the week" probably isn't an achievable timeframe for a 100k line codebase.
While talking about Media and Game Innovation Centre of Excellence (MaGICX), they aspires to create an environment that contributes toward talent development, industry promotion, knowledge-sharing, and international collaboration, MaGICX’s credits include projects related to augmented reality, mixed and virtual environment, image processing, computer vision, multimedia software engineering, medical computing, computer interaction, human interface, usability, animation and technology, speech and signal processing, visualization, multimedia and software innovation, and emerging technology.
Their vision is -“To be the anchor for Games and Gamification industry & the nucleus for Iskandar Malaysia Innovation Valley”. For a student of computer science specially from the software developing sector it should be the main motto to be a good developer, from the visit to MagicX I , personally got understand the difference between gaming and gamification, here Gamification means “anything digital production” so being a software developer it can be my tagline for better future.
Another point can be mentioned is that steadiness, they started their journey on 2013 though got successfully recognition on 2016 at the anniversary of Iskandar Malaysia, so they definitely gives a point of perseverance in my life. Summing up it can be said “success doesn’t come overnight” .
I am so amazed by how this company trying to innovate things by developing apps and system that different than others. They are implementing the element of gamification on each of their product. And most of their product using kinect interface which rather than use a remote control or screen touch to interact, they are using movement like hand gesture. Which make things much more interesting.
Education is changing right now. Technology and expanded knowledge of the learning process have already resulted in a metamorphosis of the classroom and of teaching methods. There will be even more changes in the future. One of their project is classroom of the future. Where they wanted to create a classroom that fully technological. Since we are moving into industrial 4.0. Education is no exception.
They also have a lot of other project, such as augmented reality, mixed and virtual environment, image processing, computer vision, multimedia software engineering, medical computing, computer interaction, human interface, usability, animation and technology, speech and signal processing, visualization, multimedia and software innovation, and emerging technology.
From this visit, i learn that the important of us to adapt in fast moving of technologies is very crucial. Industrial 4.0, Education 4.0, University 4.0, everything is evolve. I ascomputer science student especially, need to be more aware of this situation. There is a lot of opportunities in the future.
