Today we spent a lot of time covering various logistics: what’s a day in the life of an MDRS sim, what will our experiment operations look like as researchers and participants, and things like where will we stay. We also tested some new sensors in the transitions between indoors and outdoors. We found what we expected for our eye tracking glasses – facing the sun is a bad idea. Our second crew arrived today so we helped them unpack and get them trained. They’ll be our participants for our experiment tomorrow. As part of their initiation, we had them cook dinner using a recipe from the MDRS cookbook and pantry ingredients. They chose wisely and made a great chicken fried rice. Following that we had brownies, discussed our Hogwarts houses, and did some more planning.
