7/25

Once we got to our lab we started right away by hooking up a video conference with Sue who is in California working for Sony!! She has to do a presentation on eye-tracking and wanted to practice on us. We started at around 9:30, however it was 6:30 her time!! I give her a lot of credit, I could never do a presentation at 6:30 Am. Her presentation was pretty cool and I understood most of it. She developed a new algorithm that can automatically code a video(tell where a person fixates) in about 30 secs!! That is AMAZING since it takes days to code a 30 min tape. I hope her algorithm can be used soon.

Hmm after that we worked on our Where's Waldo experiment. Last night I went to Border and bought two Where's Waldo books. Aj and I took the Cassio and took some pictures of the pictures. However after putting them on the PowerPoint we discovered that the pictures were too dark and so I fiddled around with a new scanner the lab had in a box( that they never opened before) I installed that and played around with it and eventually got GREAT pictures and so our PowerPoint for the experiment is almost finished!!

Then right at noon when I was ready to break for lunch Jeff called an unexpected meeting with the interns. At the meeting he proceeded to add three more projects to our list of things to do AHHH. It doesnt seem like we will finish everything. We are trying to get our project done by the 8th but I don't know if we will plus the next to weeks we will only have 3 people since Aj is gone.

Not much else to say except that we ate at crossroads instead of on the roof (even though it was such a nice day) because Matt decided not to bring his lunch...oh well maybe next week.
