Current Application Workflow

The study administrator menu is accessible by facing the right palm up towards the camera while flat.

Scan any QR code 25 times.
Give headset to participant.
For participant: On the user interface, complete the training module.

Data Processing

When run as a standalone program, subject data is saved as an Unreal log file. When run on desktop or using HoloLens remote connection, subject data is written to the Unreal log and must be copy-pasted to a new .log file using a text editor.

Data processing is primarly done using Python 3.8.10. A description of the directory's workflow and organization is found in Data folder.

Notes

Eye-Tracking

Must be enabled within HoloLens 2 after application installations. Settings > Privacy > Eye Tracker > Choose which apps
