The Bluetooth has been a major pain for the past few days. We've fallen pretty far behind recently--we're supposed to be doing a truckload of user tests, so we can base our code improvements on user responses, but so many things keep malfunctioning in the harness, that we've had to delay things more and more. The Bluetooth is the current issue. It's gotten loose from being taken on and off constantly, and so when people are walking our testing courses, the Bluetooth will suddenly disconnect and we'll have to start the test over again. Bah.
But, at least we've finally started testing more. One of my fellow researchers and I have been grabbing random people from the dorm to try out the harness. I don't think anyone's made it through a test course yet, but at least we're seeing people's reactions to our harness/the technology, and can see what is and is not intuitive. It's kind of entertaining on occasion--one of the test subjects jumped about a foot when the vibrators started going off. I suppose people just weren't listening while we were explaining the purpose of the harness to them. Oh well, that's how testing is I suppose.
Have to get back to work, have to somehow get back on our summer track. How time flies when you're
