4.2.3 Test Setup
The set up for the test will remain the same for all the test participants to minimise outside bias. The test will occur in a room where the lights are turned off to diminish any light reflections on the viewing screen, but the blinds will not be pulled so that the camera is able to record distinguishable expressions and movement. The test will be run on a laptop screen that has a refresh rate of 60Hz, the videos will be shown in VLC and the questionnaire will be answered online with the results being made available to the researcher in Google spreadsheets.
The camera will be placed in front of the test person, whilst the researcher will be seated behind and slightly to the side, so as not to distract the test participant but still be able to see the screen. The final set up can be seen in figure 1 below.
