I\u2019m feeling very drained today. I keep meaning to go to bed earlier and then end up staying up late to chat with people lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we had our final class of SolidWorks. We spent the class assembling all of the parts that our team made. It was cool to see how everything gets joined together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After class, we went to lunch at the dining hall, and then we went back to the VRAC to have a t-shirt brainstorm session. We\u2019re working on a design that we\u2019ll all get to wear as a reminder of this REU. We want to incorporate our team projects and the cool things we get to do in the VRAC, but also the things we do outside of the lab because those things are such a big part of this summer experience for all of us too. Then we started working with blender, which is a 3D modeling software that is used to create objects. The objects and scenes that we create will then get coded into Unity (the VR world). My idea is to build a strawberry patch and then have the user be able to pick the strawberries off the tree and put them into a wooden basket in VR. I\u2019m hoping to do this by building a strawberry, copying and pasting it to make more strawberries, building a bush, and placing the strawberries into the basket that I build. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, the Curiosity Crew went into the lab, and Sophie was able to put on the 64-electrode cap so that we could run the experiment using the trivia question system. It was a lot of fun to be in that research scene and see the experiment in real life as opposed to a procedure written on paper. <\/p>\n\n\n
