This day was a very fun one. Jeff gave us a few parameters and we were set free to do what we wanted with them. We had to gain experience with the SMI eye tracker and the best way to do so was to create our own experiment. So Octavia and I set out to create and test an experiment. We went around the building taking pictures of interesting situations. Now since Jeff recently showed us a new way to pass the slides on the SMI we integrated that into our experiment as well. After the calibration was done we had a question before each of the slides in which the person had to read and then look at the X below to move the slide forward. Gathering up interns and a grad student we collected data. We had a total of six people participate. After our experiment was finished we ended the day with some more heat maps.
