Original Work Begins

These past few weeks had been quite busy, I had begun my Original Work, preparations for , Research Showcase, and made some updates to my digital portfolio. Every Independent Study , Mentorship student is required to conduct some research pertaining to their field and come to , their own conclusions. I will be focusing on figuring out what developers should prioritize when , developing applications that render graphical elements in augmented or virtual reality. To do , this I’ve been looking into learning about the human eye, mind, and how our brains process and , perceive our surroundings. One thing I found very interesting was that our minds perceive , things frame by frame at a certain rate, and that we have a Critical Flicker Frequency (CFF) of , around 60. Which means if we see a video with a frame rate less than 60fps we will be able to , discern the video as separate individual images rather than a fluid video. CFF is one of the few , interesting things I’ve learned about. I also began preparing for Research Showcase by , designing my presentation board and updating my portfolio. Some of the updates I made on , my portfolio include the addition of a mentor page, and a couple of interview assessments. , Another major change with my digital portfolio is that it is now a mobile web app on iPhones; if , you are using an iPhone or any other Apple mobile device and you add my digital portfolio to , your homepage it becomes its own independent app. Overall I look forward to learn more about , how we perceive our surroundings and using that new gained knowledge to aid developers in , creating the most realistic graphic renderings. , , , , ,
