All PhD candidates around the world know about the thesis. You always knew about the thesis. It marks the beginning of the end for your career as a PhD and if you actually do it, you can have that cool “Dr.” title that you always wanted in your business card. What is the problem then? Why it seems so frustrating when you are sitting down to do it? The following is based on a true story, actually my story. How I managed to write it down and track my progress. Continue reading
During recent experiments for a research paper, my research group observed very strange symptoms from our Google Glass. Most of our experiments were done to study the impact of latency on cognitive assistance applications such as programs designed to remind you who is in front of you, or notify you that it is safe to cross the street. We observed a large variation in latency which was unexplainable by the usual culprits such as poorly performing WiFi networks. We had isolated all the possible sources outside of the Google Glass, but the unknown source of latency jitter was still ruining our experimental results. At this point, we knew we had to figure out what was going on inside the Google Glass itself.
