Introduction

The 17th Graduation Exhibition, themed "Paper Boat", symbolizes the journey of growth, unity, and the courage to set sail into the unknown. A paper boat—simple yet profound—is made from an ordinary piece of paper, yet carries boundless dreams and aspirations. It reflects both the fragility and resilience of graduating students as they leave the safe harbor of school and face the vast ocean of possibilities ahead.

This year’s exhibition presents three featured projects:

1. Mobile Information System for Tour Groups:
This project bridges the communication gap between tour guides and travelers. Designed specifically for group travel, it offers real-time GPS tracking, emergency alerts, multimedia messaging, and more. It aims to enhance travel safety and experience through seamless interaction.

2. Development of a Fabric Color and Texture Comparison System:
This system addresses challenges in the textile industry, especially the subjectivity of human color perception and inconsistencies in equipment calibration. It integrates AI-based mechanisms to objectively analyze and compare fabric color and texture, helping businesses improve material selection and quality control.

3. Sushi Counter Simulation Game:
Inspired by the meticulous world of Japanese sushi artisans, this simulation game allows players to step into the shoes of a sushi chef. From preparing ingredients to managing a sushi bar, the game emphasizes precision, tradition, and the spirit of craftsmanship.

Like paper boats, each student started with a blank slate—shaped by experience, teamwork, and guidance. Our class is like a fleet, navigating together, with our teachers as captains steering us through uncharted waters. As we now venture into the future, we carry with us not only skills and projects, but also a heart that remains curious, open, and eager to learn—just like we were on day one.

May this exhibition be a glimpse into our journey and a testament to what can be built from simple beginnings. Welcome aboard our paper boat.
