Around\u00a0week 3 we decided that after quarters we would\u00a0spend one week finishing up any leftover tests and\u00a0move on to prototypes. Quarters was week 5 and so\u00a0this week, week 6 was our final week for testing. It\u00a0ended up being a perfect week to transition.\u00a0We spent most of the week focused on finishing\u00a0up our last few tests and getting them ready for\u00a0users. But we also ended up working on two prototypes,\u00a0planning a conference visit, and presenting to\u00a0two groups of visitors.<\/p>\n<h2>What we Accomplished<\/h2>\n<p>The last of our tests are finished. Our last\u00a0categories were called Control Variation Tests and\u00a0Motion Tests. The former included a 180-Degree\u00a0Spin test, a Sensitivity test, and an Axis Inversion test.\u00a0These were tested on Friday, while the latter catagory\u00a0will be tested over the next few weeks as they\u00a0take far more time to complete.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_347\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/spearhead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/oculus-2013-10-04-20-55-29-81.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-347\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-347\" alt=\"oculus 2013-10-04 20-55-29-81\" src=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/spearhead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/oculus-2013-10-04-20-55-29-81-300x187.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/spearhead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/oculus-2013-10-04-20-55-29-81-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/spearhead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/oculus-2013-10-04-20-55-29-81-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/spearhead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/oculus-2013-10-04-20-55-29-81.jpg 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-347\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our 180-Degree Test, users will have to find the &#8216;A&#8217;, &#8216;B&#8217;, and &#8216;C&#8217; boxes after the camera turns completely around.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_348\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/spearhead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Rocket_Inverted-2013-10-04-20-55-06-12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-348\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-348\" alt=\"Rocket_Inverted 2013-10-04 20-55-06-12\" src=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/spearhead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Rocket_Inverted-2013-10-04-20-55-06-12-300x187.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/spearhead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Rocket_Inverted-2013-10-04-20-55-06-12-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/spearhead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Rocket_Inverted-2013-10-04-20-55-06-12-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/spearhead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Rocket_Inverted-2013-10-04-20-55-06-12.jpg 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-348\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our Inverted Y-Axis test.

So far that looks\u00a0to be a toss up between our 3rd-Person rig, and a\u00a0Basketball game. Alex spent all Wednesday researching\u00a0ways to create a backpack rig to hold a camera\u00a0behind someone and Tushar worked on the Basketball\u00a0on Friday so they could have something to show\u00a0in Austin.\u00a0Speaking of which, that was the third focus of\u00a0this week. Project Spearhead is going to Captivate.\u00a0We planned our trip and are leaving early Saturday\u00a0morning to spend three days at the Captivate conference\u00a0in Austin, Texas. Stay tuned to our website, we\u2019ll\u00a0be updating with pictures from our trip.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s Next<\/h2>\n<p>In the short term we\u2019re focused on the Captivate\u00a0Conference and getting as much as we can from\u00a0that. We\u2019re bringing an Oculus with us and will try to\u00a0showcase as much of our work as possible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/spearhead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/PS_Newsletter_Week-6.pdf\">PS_Newsletter_Week 6<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our week In Recall The week of the great transition.
