When thinking of Project 1 ideas, I was considering looking at brain imaging scans of athletes in different sports. While it is not possible to find the data for this idea at the current time, I was able to find brain imaging datasets of two other studies: imaging of the effects of sleep deprivation and imaging of acute and chronic brain injury.

After reading the Seven Scenarios paper, I would like this project to focus on communication the message of both of these studies as well as allowing there to be collaboration betweeen users. In order to compare software, I aim to have one dataset be shown through Unity and the other in Paraview.

N.B. After discussing with Jakobi via Slack, if the MRI imaging doesn't work out, I will continue on with Project 1.

There will be two visualizations: one for the sleep deprivation set and one for the acute and chronic brain injury. Students will be put in pairs so that they can collaborate while looking at the dataset. Like in Project 1, there will be a Google Form at the end of the class activity to gauge everyone's thoughts on the data visualization and the collaboration capabilities.

A deliverable that will probably occur at the end of the project will be a page with the results from the class activity and an evaluation of Unity/Paraview as MRI imaging visualizers.

Add data to scientific data page  (includes data not used in project but found during research)

Make video tutorials for any part of Unity or Paraview that was used in project that don't already exist on the wiki

The aim for this project in terms of collaboration is similar to what we saw with DinoVR in class. Due to my current level of knowledge, I am aiming for only two people to be able to enter the VR visualization and to see the data at the same time. In addition, one person would be able to change what is being viewed in the visualization. However, unlike DinoVR, I would like it to be that the users have two separate pointers so that they can see each other.
