t_allardyce's Journal: Ahhhhh final-year project ideas deadline!!

Im doing media technology (no its not media studies damn you!) and the deadline to come up with a final year project is looming (which means about 2 days) any ideas (apart from smell-o-vision) welcome, generally it can be either a hardware or software based one-year project which should have roughly something to do with media, video, image processing, audio or something like that. Software projects preferred (cheaper :P) should be reasonably interesting :P

so far ive come up with the wild selection of:

"some sort of image recognition do-da but i dont know what it should do"

"the security and privacy issues involved with electronic voting (and implement a secure and private system)" (not sure if this one is media related enough)

"Video editing software... erm... thats er just video editing software"

any ideas anyone?
