Day 25


Today has been a very slow day. The majority of the day before Kamran arrived i had little to do as my structure draft had not been sent back to me with a review by either Kamran or Rakshit. In the time i had i attempted to locate and edit video evidence to support my statements in my presentation. I had luck finding the videos but editing them was another problem as i could not find any free editing software that could actually crop and cut a video. Unfortunately i had to call in a favour from Aditi as her Mac comes with built in editing software. She has edited some videos for me but i hope i can get Kamran to teach me a better method so that i don't need to bother Aditi's work. Kamran finally arrived and we went over my draft, with him giving me some advice on how to refine it. The rest of the day was allotted to my draft.

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 31

Today was the last day and presentations were done. I was the last to present and for the most part i believe i did a good job. I appreciate how much Joe talked about my determination to the program and my drive to accomplish. After the presentations i showed my mum the lab and introduced her to my advisors, at least my ex-advisors. I'm gonna miss RIT but i'll be coming back when i apply to the gaming major, and i have much to do to prepare. Mark my words, i will get into RIT and i will pursue my passion. See you in a years time Joe.

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.
