Progress Report12 July – 16 August Cathryn Johns
TFTP • 3rd year networks tut • Trivial FTP • Transfer files, but not change directories • No security • Etc. • Uses UDP • Lot of work – very interesting! • Most work – creating a web page to explain all this to the 3rd years ….
Afrigraph • Some useful comments, some not • Reviewers missing the point • Reviewers pushing their own agenda • Incoporated some changes
Thesis Outline • 2 pages, including major subheadings • Also includes complete breakdown of background and experimental design chapters
Expected Results • Been thinking about what I expect to find • Need to make sure that my design can actually catch these results! • I suspect that VR will give a longer-lasting overall impression, but not for specific values
Data Set • Was going to use solar system • Eg. Distance from sun, number of moons • But this means 1 map, 1 sketch map, 1 set of distance judgments, 1 set of navigation tasks PER RELATIONSHIP! • Thought about it long and hard • That wasn’t even what I wanted to show off in the first place
Ideal Data Set • Not too many objects, not too few • Objects all of same type • i.e. not a “is a” relationship • Relationships form a graph, not a tree • E.g. not a timeline, causality, influence • Relationship musn’t be directly spatial • Must be static • i.e. not a process, flow chart • Must be fairly interesting • Preferably objects which can be represented graphically in a natural way
Then … • Can still show off power of VE • Teleports, non-transitive topology • But with using only one relation • Only 1 map • They only need to draw 1 sketch map, do 1 set of distance judgements, 1 navigation task • No memory contamination between different relations • One of the conventional methods: give them a map/plan of the VE layout • Since it’s a graph anyway
