class and read the pages indicated.

Assignment 0 is NOT required for either of these readings. Instead do pre-seminar assignment described below. It is not expected that you will be able to fully address all the points in the assignment before this first video class, the goal is to have you think through these issues as far in advance as possible.
Decide how your group will use video recording in your course project.
Using either the experiment room (FSC2331), the LIL (FSC2430), or your own space draw
several diagrams of your experimental set up including any prototype interfaces, computers, etc, placement of participants, observers and video equipment.
Review the MAGIC/Imager video equipment lists and create a list of all equipment (including specialized cables or connectors) that you will need. Include in your list blank video tapes and computers or other materials you will use. Break this list into three parts:
1. Equipment/Facilities to be reserved and borrowed from MAGIC/Imager
2. Equipment/Facilities to be supplied by group members.
3. Equipment/Facilities that you have not yet acquired or do not have access to.
Provide dates of usage for all of these items.
Part 1 of your list will be submitted to
Lavana Lea (lavana@cs.ubc.ca)
who is the administrator for the Imager lab. You must identify yourself as a
CPSC 544 student to Lavana Lea.
Reservations will be made on a first come, first serve basis.
