Project: Complexity Theory

Project Description

We are using Unity3D to simulate how crowds react to different spaces and setups. We will use virtual reality to gain data on how people explore space and use it to improve our simulations.


Weekly Log

Week 1 (6/28 - 6/3):
This week my research began. Right now my partner and I are working our way through unity tutorials, getting a feel for the editor and learning advanced techniques. There is not that much to say since we are just beginning. Check back next week!
Week 2 and 3 (6/4 - 6/16):
These last 2 weeks have been a time of transition. I moved to a new project on the topic of complexity theory with Prof. Allender. While I have little experience with complexity theory, it is a topic i am very interested in! Right now I am learning about Kolmogorov complexity.
