Hello again,

There have not been too many exciting events in the past 24 hours. We learned more C++ yesterday and focused primarily on condition and loops. The code for loops and conditionals is not too difficult for there are many similarities with Java.

I am doing a side task with trying to code the number guessing game Bulls and Cows using C++. The goal of the game is to guess a 4-digit number and you only get clues on the number of digits that are in the correct place and if there are digits that are in the number, but not in the correct place. This is a fun task I try and do so I can apply different functions.

Today, we had our first Luncheon Lecture. It was with Dr. James Oliver who was a previous director for VRAC. He brought a lot of insight and advice for the future. Here are just a few bullets.

• Life can lead you down a lot of roads that are not always a straight shot
• Research using VR is not just computer based. He brought up how one research project to look at the behavior of chickens that were placed in a virtual reality free range. Or how they used VR to create a control environment to see how people consumed food.

That’s pretty much all for today.

Best,

Sophie
