RRCP

This Week: Aprill 4th

 

Caroline-Finish IRB training, dig in to the fundamentals Emotive software (Affectiv), some Sketch Up?

Soheyla-Continue in the research of similar color experiments, find potentially adoptable procedural standard for experiment

Olivia-Finish IRB training as well, find potential google warehouse spaces, familiarize self with SketchUp

 

As a group, we used this week as a learning curve-to continue to familiarize ourselves with the tools/software needed to conduct our experiment so we can dive into the nitty gritty of our experiment starting next week.

 

Accomplishments: Finishing the fun IRB training, and further familiarizing ourselves with the software will make it possible to leave the learning phase—and to really start getting into our project.

 

Problems: Sketch Up’s free trial download allows for eight hours of work time. Without paying for the software, it gives us 24 hours of work time between the three of us, plus any extra computers we can acquire if needed to build our 3D space. Just kidding, you only receive 8 hours free of Sketch Up Pro-basic Make Up lasts forever.

 

On Schedule?:

Roughly. We could be more comfortably further ahead, however being unfamiliar with our tools, it was important to take the time to build fundamental knowledge about the programs we are using in order to accomplish our experiment. This will allow us to forge ahead in the next weeks. More concrete imagery to come!

 

Next Weeks Plans:

  • Finalize room/color decisions
  • Use Sketch Up to build/make adjustments to spaces-so much fun
  • Test run the Emotiv system and software
  • Draft experiment design
  • Draft survey questions
  • Solidify interactive activity of subject while in environment
