@UWaterloo Students! Our lab is always looking for opportunities to work with students from many disciplines to do the work we do. Some opportunities listed below. For example KIN391 is a research assistant position for course credit. Take it as an elective for any program!

Last night, Trista was playing a third person 3D platformer game (Pumpkin Jack) and started to feel a little sick. I suggested cutting the max frame rate from 120 to 60 in settings, and that made it better. Simulator sickness tends to come from high quality rendering of smooth angle changes that you aren’t directly controlling. Skillfully playing an FPS yourself has your brain expecting every angle change, but a third person camera that is only loosely coupled to your actions can be a problem. Closely watching other people play can also be a problem. We first saw this after I got glQuake running on SGI hardware, and SGI invited us to their Dallas headquarters to try it out on a high end Infinite Reality system. A 3DFX could run 640x480 30 fps, but this system could run 1280x1024 60 fps. The room was dark, and I was playing the game on a big monitor at a quality we had never seen. Michael Abrash, watching behind me, got so sick he had to go sit down.

Today marks the launch of the Federal Open Science Repository of Canada - this is an important step forward in #openscience in 🇨🇦. Huge congrats to the departments and agencies who worked relentlessly to make this happen! 👏👏👏 open-science.canada.ca/home
Canadian Science@CDNScience

For @ChiefSciCan, the arrival of the Federal Open Science Repository is a significant step forward in enabling greater openness of government #research and helps promote a culture of #science for all. bit.ly/3SjLYKY

It’s okay to not be okay. If you need help, or if you know someone who does, please reach out by calling or texting 9-8-8. That’s the number for Canada’s new suicide crisis helpline – and it’s now available across the country, in English and French, 24/7.
