1. Project #2: IoT and augmented reality: agents with pervasive awareness, appearance, and abilities REU Students: Kendra Richards & Nikhil Mahalanobis 
Graduate mentors: Dr. Kangsoo Kim
Faculty mentor(s): Dr. Gregory Welch, Dr. Gerd Bruder
Week #5 (June 24 – June 28, 2019)
Accomplishments:
Finished running trials in our experiment
We ended up running about 22 Participants
Made more progress on LaTeX paper
Have more sections with more material.
Started initial data analysis
Ran the non-parametric statistics for the three factors (vibration, periphery, lighting) over the results for the measures (spatial presence, engagement, social presence, gaming experience, behavioral responses).
So far, we only have one significant factor: "Vibration" has a significant effect on spatial presence, social presence, and engagement.
"Periphery" is close to significant for spatial presence, and "lighting" is close to significant for engagement. 
Double checked results with parametric statistics 
Problem & Solutions
Only 1 factor (Vibration) is a significant factor according to the data
We initially tested 17 people when running the data analysis, so in order to push the other 2 factors over the significance threshold we decided to test 5 more participants.
Slightly shot under the participants goals. This was because we had a lack of sign-ups on the last couple days of trials
Like mentioned before, to make up for this we decided to test 5 more participants
Plans for next week:
Finish the data analysis
Once done with data analysis, start writing the Results, Discussion, Conclusion, and Abstract parts of paper
Finish the research paper(s) by ACM SUI 2019 Deadline (The deadline was extended to July 7th :))
