Day 15

Today we started fully working on Python and Vizard. I created a simple scene with some pre-made 3d models, and animated some plants to move around and spin. I also learned about cull faces, which are faces of geometry on screen that is opposite of the normal face. These cull faces can be turned off if the player doesn't need to see one side of an object on screen, and to improve performance.

Day 14

For the first half of the day we looked at and organized more data, and got a little bit farther in the mobile data. For the second half of the day, I was introduced to vizard, which is the software the perform lab uses to create virtual environments for use with a VR helmet.

Day 13

Today we were informed that we were going to start working in the perform lab tomorrow with virtual reality, which was exciting. Other than that, the day was filled with looking at data.

Day 12

Today we finished up our with our last subject for now, and then started to dive fully into analyzing data. Unfortunately, another experiment was scheduled for today, and thus we couldn't use the lab for too long today.

Day 11

Today we finished up with Group 1 of testing, and have started sorting through the data we collected for them. Also, I talked with Chris Kanan about computer science and machine vision, and he gave me some very insightful information.

Day 10

Today we went through another round of trials in the morning, which went very smoothly. We also started to put the framework in to analyze our data fully, including making more spreadsheets and starting to draw AOIs, or Areas Of Interest, on our video recordings.

Day 9

Today we started the first wave of trials for our experiment, which went very well. We also briefly looked over the results we got, and I started to construct a spreadsheet of the data.
