Progress: Testing Phase

It's been quite a long time since I updated on the progress of this project, but fortunately no news is good news in this case. The last two weeks of June saw lots of progress on all fronts, as well as my last summer meeting with my advisor. Everything is in order, and I'm ready to begin testing my three methods to determine the overall strongest method of interacting with the users of SL in creating music.

I've decided upon four criteria to judge my three approaches:

- Response Time
          Time between initial user input and aural response
          Measured in (ms); Lowest value is most efficient

- Accuracy
          Number of messages in compared with number of aural events out
          
Measured in whole integers; Lowest value is most accurate
- CPU Usage
          Percentage of processing power used when receiving user data
          Measured in a percentage from 0% to 200% on a dual core
          processor; Lowest value is most efficient

- User Friendliness
          Beta tester opinions on ease of use
          Measured on a 5-point Likert scale; Highest value is easiest to use


In addition to these criteria, I will also be testing in several areas of SL to take population strain on the server into account. Testing will begin next week after I return from the ProvFlux new media conference in Rhode Island. A more detailed post on the changes in the final coding for all the paths will be up soon.

It is hard to believe that anything [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes cheap[/URL][/B] so inherently ugly as the MBT shoe could ever catch on [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] with either the younger generation or the fitness fanatics but it has. [B]mbt sneakers[/B] The shoes or I suppose they should be called trainers have thick curved soles and wide straps across the front. Currently [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] the are available in over 20 countries and have sold more than a million pairs a year. Considering that they have a price tag of around $200 it is even [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] more remarkable.

MBT shoes, which stand for Masai [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] Barefoot Technology were invented by Karl Muller a Swiss engineer. He [B]mbt shoes review[/B] suffered back and knee problems but on a trip to Korea he noticed [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] that after walking barefoot through paddy fields the symptoms were relieved. With further [U]MBT[/U] research he discovered that the Masai tribesmen from Kenya did not suffer back problems [B]discount mbt shoes[/B] and had perfect posture. Putting these two facts together he decided that [U]footwear etc[/U] the answer was because they were walking on soft surfaces [U]mbt shoes review[/U] which yielded as they trod on them. This [U]MBT[/U] was unlike in Europe and America where we tend to walk on firm surfaces such as sidewalks.

The first MBT was manufactured in 1996 and soon [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] became popular on continental Europe. Since then many celebrities have [B]footwear etc[/B] been seen sporting MBTs. The concept basically is that the [U][B]footwear etc[/U][/B] curved sole creates instability as you walk, which [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] mimics the effect of walking barefoot. To counteract this the foot uses muscle to counter this [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes clearance[/URL][/B] and creates a natural body training effect.


As to the question of whether they [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] are worth the money I suppose this has to be a personal judgement. If [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] you spend long periods of time on your feet then you may [U]mbt sneakers[/U] benefit from them. However, if you are someone [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] who just goes for gentle walks to keep fit then perhaps a [U]mbt shoes clearance[/U] good pair of conventional trainers at [U][B]mbt shoes clearance[/U][/B] half the price will be fine.
