The morning meeting was brief. We talked about our picnic today and  "bring a friend day" on Tuesday. After the morning meeting, I kept working on coding. I am keeping track of what I learned and what I didn't learn to make sure to ask about anything I am confused on.

The picnic lunch was delicious. We had Italian sausages and oven baked chips. It was extremely delicious. Most of the interns and I also watched a you tuber during lunch. I am proud to say I introduced them to it and that they are now obsessed!

After lunch, I kept working on learning Python. I learned many things including the define statement, and lower and upper case statements. I was also introduced to the while statements. I am confused on them, but I will keep working on them next week.

Today was the best day! I had a blast at the museum. It made me appreciate photography more. I even learned what a daguerreotype was! The best part about today, however, was Amiel's. The gyro sandwich was amazing!
After lunch, the interns and I talked a little about the picnic lunch. I am excited about being with everyone tomorrow. I then got to work by learning more about python and going through the vizard tutorial.
Tomorrow is the picnic lunch!

Outline:

Introduction: 

• History and toil of the remote eye trackers
• Different kinds of eye movements 
• Question of interest and general results

Methodology: 

• How we went about our experiment
• methods used for setting up the experiment
• IRB (Institutional Review Board) approval
• number of participants 
• procedure: calibration, image viewing, post viewing recollection, survey 
• Further explain the difference between the real and virtual settings of experiment. 
• Add a slide with the directions given to participants.
• Add some of the audio recordings of participant's recollection? (with permission of the participants of course!)

Virtual Reality: 

• Computer programming and using python
• Reason for virtual relaity setting
• How we built our virtual reality scene
• to be continued....

July 27th

I was running late this morning because my alarm didn't go off! But thankfully, I managed to make it! The morning meeting was nice and short. We were reminded about our field trip tomorrow which is something I am very excited about!
After the meeting, I worked on programming python and learning all about code academy. During lunch, I had pizza which is still amazing and attended the talk. The talk was given by Gabe Diaz in the perform lab.  This made me even more excited about working in the virtual reality and motivated me to learn to code even more.
After the talk, I kept on coding. I made a story  using code. I Cannot wait for the field trip tomorrow and to do more with python.

In the morning meeting, we discussed our field trip on Thursday to the George Eastman building. I am excited to see it and am also excited for the free lunch. We then further discussed our projects and updates. Mr. Callens brought in doughnuts which were the highlight of my morning.

After that, I went to the lab where I worked on the arduous  area of interest until lunch. During lunch, I talked and laughed with Madi. We discussed schools and colleges and her sisters. It was a great time for me.

After lunch, I went back to the lab and further worked on the area of interest until 3 o'clock. At three, I went down to the Perform Lab where a graduate student introduced us to coding and gave us an assignment for tomorrow. I hope I will be able to do this assignment! It is interesting but time consuming.

Today was a very rainy day. Driving was pretty difficult in the morning but I managed to make it! ( thank god). The morning meeting was brief and quiet. Everyone was completely dead this morning. After the meeting, my group and I went down to the visual perception lab and worked some more on BeGaze and AOI. I brainstormed a brief outline of our presentation this morning. Susan then came in to tell us that we will be working with Gabe tomorrow ( I am very excited) on building another part of our experiment.

Lunch today was quiet in the beginning, but then it got louder as we progressed. All of the interns played a board game (Trivial Pursuit). Can I just say that that game was really hard?. We only managed to answer two questions!. Nevertheless, it was fun watching everyone struggling and laughing together. I also learned the correct pronunciation for Calvin Klein (you don't stress the ien in case you wanted to know!). 

After lunch, my group and I went back to the lab where we continued working. I had a new task though! For the rest of the afternoon, I performed statistical analysis of our data to further analyze the data and hopefully aid in the conclusion of our lab.

We started off the day asking ourselves, "What was the craziest thing that happened in your high school?". Common responses included pulling the fire alarm, school pranks, and creepy teachers. After that interesting morning, we planned out the picnic tomorrow which I unfortunately wouldn't attend but it was still fun to see what everyone is bringing.

After the morning meeting, my group and I went down to the visual perception lab and finished the experiment with 5 out of the 6 interns. Cici wasn't here so my group members will make sure that she finishes on Friday. In addition, we continued analyzing our data using BeGaze.

When it was time for lunch, the interns and I went to Student Union where we ate lots od delicious but interesting food. We especially enjoyed Madi's laughing fit as Allyse pulled out random things from her backpack.

After lunch, we almost got lost. However, we asked people nearby for help and managed to get to our lab safely where we continued analyzing data using BeGaze and tracking the area of interest for every participant.
