=== [[User:Josh Tveite|Josh]] ===

* Research Comps
** Write/Finish proposal and give proposal presentation
** Find a committee - done
** Continue work on implementation

* User Study
** Continue running users - done
** Write paper - submitted, needs work
** Help with refinements of data/paper

* General Yurt
** Continue to give demos as needed
** Learn everything Wesley knows before he leaves

=== [[User:Wallace Lages|Wallace]] ===

*Finish experiment and write IEEEVR paper

* Finish VR volume renderer
** last changes: added another kernel for gpu pre processing, copying one PBO to another in the GPU. Simple kernel (just remove part of the dataset)
** Issues: Interaction pass takes a long time on CPU
** Options: add spatial structure, perform interaction on GPU
** Other improvements: 1) reduce original RGBA 3d texture to mono -> improve memory usage 2) remove 3d texture altogether and implement filtering in the shader -> possible faster copy in one pass, 3) change to splatting 4) refactor code

*Reimplement Volume Cracker like interaction
**Implement on VR
**Develop hardware

* Finish new interaction technique
**Finish design
**Implement software
**Implement technique on VR
