The Saga Continues

Not too bad today, just a few crazy moments...

First off, football weight lifting in the morning at 6:30! After that, I was straight off to RIT for the morning intern meeting. After slipping in with about 10 seconds to spare, Bob told us about all the exciting field trips he was planning for the summer. Then off to the VP labs. There we learned about the ASL system that tracked a stationary subject's vision direction. We also learned how to use the analog ISCAN program, which was much more complicated. This system utilized a multiplexer and a demultiplexer in order to capture/view both the eye and area films. (I included the names of those fancy gysmos just because I think they are sweet names!) Then AJ and I fiddled around with the ASL system and tracked each others eye movements... while playing Minesweeper! Then we got an intro to the TWiki account and were given a reading assignment about the history of eye tracking. Yeah, fun...

So after lunch the VP interns were split into two group and Erika and I were suppose to be test subjects for an experiment, but stuff went wrong with the programs and that never came to fruition. So we sat back and read. Oh boy lots of fun! Actually the reading wasn't really that bad and even interesting at times. I still got more to go though. We also learned how to assemble the Mobile Eye Tracking Device so that we could set it up in the future. After that the whole group, all four of us, were reunited and we finally met the mystery man of the day, our adviser Jeff Pelz. After meeting him and trying to figure out a problem with power source of the Mobile Eye Tracking Device, AJ and I had to go correct a problem with our RIT cards. Something about the university ID number was messed up and it was just really confusing, but now hopefully everything is squared away... hopefully. Now I can finally be officially logging my hours so I can get paid!!! That's always a good thing!

Keep it classy,
