Is it a technical topic? Justify.

Yes, the topic that I have chosen, which is ‘Google Glass – Refraction of Innovation’ is a

technical topic because it ais to failiari!e the au"ience with one the latest cutting#e"ge

technology of the $%st century. &he technical aspects of this presentation is also relate" to

the fiel" of 'echanical (ngineering.

Audience

)ow "i" you "eterine the *nowle"ge level of your au"ience?

&he *nowle"ge level of the au"ience were "eterine" by as*ing a nuber of the onhow failiar were they on the topic beforehan". &hose au"ience were as*e" to give a

rating between %#%+ on how failiar they were towar"s the Google Glass, with % being

‘unhear" of the topic’ an" %+ being ‘very failiar on the topic’. ase" on the survey, it

can be conclu"e" that soe of the au"ience have not hear" about the topic before, soe

have hear" about the topic but not failiar enough towar"s it- while soe others were

very well infore" on the topic.

)ow "i" this inforation influence your presentation? &he inforation influence" e too eplaine" y topic in a siple anner so that the

au"ience which are not failiar with the topic can grasp the inforation easily. /n the

other han", I will also inclu"e interesting facts insi"e the presentation so that the au"ience

which were alrea"y failiar with the topic woul" still fin" it interesting to listen too.

)ow "o you plan to gain the au"ience’s attention?


3/11

I plan to get the au"ience attention through visual ai"s such as "iagras, aniations an"

vi"eos. y the en" of the presentation, a vi"eo which overviews the Google Glass will be

shown to the au"ience. &he vi"eo woul" "eonstrate the basic functions an" the etho"

of operation of the "evice. I also plan on "istributing flyers to the au"ience after the

presentation en"s as a eory ai".

Introduction

What is the purpose and importance of choosing this topic?

&he purpose of choosing the topic is to infor an" failiari!e the au"ience with one

the current greatest invention – the Google Glass.

&he iportance of this topic is so that the au"ience woul" be infore" on the net

evolution of technology. 0s any new technology are being invente" "ay by "ay,

they have revolutioni!e" the way we thin*, wor* an" play. &hus, it is iportant for us

to *eep trac* on the flow of these technology so that we woul" not be left behin".

How is the topic relevant to the audience?

&he topic is relevant to the au"ience as it woul" failiari!e the with the net

brea*through of to"ay’s technology. 'ost of the au"ience are also young a"ults,

which is also the target group for this pro"uct.

What do you expect the audience to learn from the presentation (objectives)?

&he au"ience woul" learn about the features, technology use", the "esign perspective,a"vantages an" also future scope of the Google Glass.

What is your thesis statement?

&o"ay, we woul" li*e to intro"uce all of you on the Google Glass, its features,

technology use", "esign perspective, a"vantages an" also the future scope of this

"evice.

List the main points that will support your thesis statement.

1eatures of the Google Glass

• &he Google Glass core functions are such as photo capturing, vi"eo recor"ing,

navigation, essaging an" a*ing calls, as well as the Google search. 2ashevs*y

an" )achan, $+%34

&echnology use"

• &he Google Glass uses a nuber of cutting#e"ge technologies such as 5earable

5/11

How are you establishing your credibility?

0s a 'echanical (ngineering stu"ent, I have a"e;uate *nowle"ge on the topic,

especially towar"s the wor*ing principle of the Google Glass. I have also con"ucte"

nuerous research on the topic prior to the presentation to ensure that the

presentation "elivere" is precise an" free fro errors.

Body

Which organiational pattern are you using? !ustify your choice.

&he organi!ational pattern that I woul" be using is the topical pattern. &his is because

the topic that I woul" be presenting will be "ivi"e" into several subtopics. &hese

subtopics will not be arrange" accor"ing to a proce"ural etho" but in turn, will be

arrange" accor"ing y preference an" the relevance of the subtopics. &he subtopics

woul" be arrange" in a way that the au"ience woul" be able to lin* between one

subtopic to another.

List the supporting ideas for each main point.

Features of the Google Glass

• 0ong the core functions of the Google Glass are such as photo capturing, vi"eo

How do you ensure that there is coherent transition from one point to the next main

point?

I will use transitional phrases such as ‘1urtherore’, ‘'oreover’, an" ‘/n the other

han"’ in between y points so that the au"ience woul" be able to lin* between one

point an" another. In or"er to connect the ain point an" the supporting points, I will

use phrases such as ‘&hus’, ‘)ence’, an" ‘this is becauseA’ &his ensures coherent

transition between ain points as well as supporting points. I will also give the

au"ience a preview of the net subtopic before eplaining it, so that the au"ience

woul" be prepare" when the subtopic is being eplaine".

"escribe how you are going to summarie each main point.

I woul" give a brief recap on the points eplaine" to the au"ience before oving on

eplaine".

Conclusion

"escribe how you are going to summarie the entire presentation.

I woul" give a brief eplanation on the subtopics presente" to ensure that the
