Day 30

The last regular day of work. Today i finally think i perfected my presentation, at least i should have. All i have left to do is practice my verbal speaking, and have the suave confidence of a 1940's salesman. Final day bring it on.

Modelling Human Hand-Eye Coordination Using Recurrent Neural Networks [TM1]   I        Introduction What the presentation is going to discuss/ introduce the project/ keywords [TM2]   II     Rationale o     The goal of this project is to create a VR game in which participants catch a ball, and there head, eye, and hand position/orientation are recorded. Using the participant’s data, a reinforcement learning algorithm will be developed to create a self-learning AI [TM3]   . The AI’s performance will be compared to the performance of the participants via simulation in a virtual space. o     The goal of this project is to create a VR game in which participants catch a ball, and there head, eye, and hand position/orientation are used to develop a self-learning AI, which performance will then be compared to a humans in the task of intercepting a ball.

Day 23

Lo and behold another windows update that will completely destroy my ability to blog as the update took 3 hours and at that point my CPU was hot enough to cook an egg and it was already an hour past my bedtime. As i recall, the events of yesterday were mainly based around spending until noon analyzing the last remnants of eye tracking data, detecting any common tends or patterns of motion, which we will then show at the weekly meeting on Thursday with evidence to back up our claims. After lunch i "borrowed" a lamp, curtain, and PCP piping to attempt to recreate the effect of the virtual experiment as i created a crude cover to block my participants line of site temporarily as i tossed a ball. If the data is sufficient i will attempt to compare the eye movements of both virtual and real tracking of a ball, and present my findings in my final presentation, as well as show the inefficiencies of the real experiment, enforcing my claim that physics based experiments performed usin...

Day 29

Today we had our presentation practice and i can say without a doubt i was the least prepared for the 10 minute limit. After nearly bombing the pre-presentation i learned much watching the others and then took the rest of the day to implement what i had learned to my presentation. After cutting back on the content and implementing hidden notes into the presentation to have a backup for vocal information, i presented again later that day improving much more than before but still 3 minutes over the 10 minute limit. I know exactly what i should do and will implement it, and send it to Joe tomorrow before the day is through. I do have to focus on my verbal presentation skills more, i find that once i hit a block of explaining the information the quality of the rest of the presentation is reduced.
