Reading • Bowman, et al – “Maintaining Spatial Orientation during Travel in an Immersive Virtual Environment” • Gray & Salzman – “Damaged Merchandise?” – reading group paper • Loui – “Design as Inquiry: The Methodological Legacy of AI” • Wickens – “Engineering Psychology and Human Performance” • Bechtel – “Environment and Behavior”
Other Stuff... • 2 full weeks of networks demos and marking • PLT exam paper & marking of tests (1 day) • Typed up reading list – now in .bib format (2 days!) • Quarterly Progress Report • Devised Spatial Ability Test

To Do: • Presence paper • Still more reading • Write out plan for experiments (2 days) • Draw up questionnaire (2 days) • Physically draw up spatial ability test – maybe run pilot & combine with Lunneborg’s self report SAT • Work out format for 1st experiment (what to compare to, layout, what interactions there will be, what is needed) • Devise tasks for 1st set of groups (two weeks together) • Going to SAICSIT (2 days)
