Minutes

  1. New people:
    • Three new research assistants are hired in the Human Time Data project to work with data management in our labs
    • Our two lab engineers will arrive early 2019:
      • Mocap, arriving in January
      • EEG, arriving in March
  2. Lab status
    • The lab is not entirely finished (cables, electricity, noisy lights, etc.).
    • Qualisys mocap is operational
    • Audio sync will be resolved soon (possibly next week) 
    • Ventilation, dimming of lights, and temperature is controlled by the small panel by the door inside the lab.
      • Luft = Air / ventilation
      • Lys = Light
      • Av = off, P? = on
    • The west-wall in the lab will be kept white for projection (no cable storage on the wall)
    • The sound insulation is sufficient for most things, but we need to talk to people above and below when we do loud experiments (Drum recordings, EDM, ...)
  3. Storage
    • Lab
      • Some space for temporary storage of large equipment. Long-term/permanent storage in the basement.
      • (Foldable) chairs
      • Camera / microphone / note stands
      • Clothing rack with hangers for mocap suits in the ventilation area
      • Some shelves
      • If needed: consider a flightcase or similar tidy solution in the corner of the room.
      • markers and suits should be stored inside the lab, not in the control room.
    • Control room
      • 2-3 shelves above the screens. for small/lightweight storage
      • Maybe put an edge on the shelves to keep things from falling off
      • store calibration kit next to analysis computer
      • cables on the back wall
  4. To do/follow up
    • Establish routines for cleaning mocap suits
    • Make sure that the floor in the lab is not varnished/polished (to avoid reflections)
    • Audio sync (We need two forms of sync: (1) SMPTE/time code and (2) recording the trigger on signal on an audio track.)
    • Give everyone access to the booking system for the lab.
  5. Purchases/wish list.
    • Rollable dance mat
    • Projector
    • Markers, suits, tape
    • Acoustic treatment / portable bass traps
    • DMX-lighting system
    • Amplifiers, drum kit, etc.
    • PTZ cameras
    • Headphone amplifiers/mixer/headphones
