# Initiation and Training

## All IFL Users

All IFL users must complete the following tasks to gain access the IFL:

* #### Pre-initiation
  * Make sure you have well and truly read the Shared Spaces User Agreement.
  * Read the [scheduling calendar instructions](https://gtae.gitbook.io/ifl/calendar-and-teams) hosted on the IFL Gitbook Wiki.
  * Spend 10 minutes familiarizing yourself with the [IFL website (especially the "About the IFL" page)](https://ifl.ae.gatech.edu/) and the rest of the IFL Gitbook Wiki.
* #### In-person initiation
  * Work with the Lab Manager to arrange your in-person initiation.
  * During in-person initiation you'll undergo the following:
    * General overview of the space(s) and capabilities
    * Review of Shared Space User Agreement and shared space philosophy
    * Instructions on use of the external doors
    * Safety discussion (emphasis on Li-Po procedure)
    * Review of the research project including technical advice/support (time-permitting)

## Vicon Users

*Forewarning: The IFL does not provide Vicon markers!!!* See the [Setting up Vicon Tracker and your object](https://gtae.gitbook.io/ifl/vicon-integration/setting-up) page for more details on how to procure your own.

Strictly speaking, no training is required in order to use the Vicon system, therefore explicit Vicon training is not offered ***unless it's absolutely needed***. If you don't have a trained lab mate and you are comfortable attempting Vicon solo, here are some excellent resources that should get you 90% of the way there:

1. <mark style="background-color:yellow;">\[COMING SOON: IFL-SPECIFIC VIDEO ON VICON SETUP AND USAGE]</mark>
2. All of the 'Vicon Integration' pages on this Gitbook Wiki, starting with the [Quick Start Guide](https://gtae.gitbook.io/ifl/vicon-integration/quick-start-guide). Note that the Wiki is intended to supplement the Vicon Tracker User Guide, not replace it, and to provide space-specific information.
3. Watch the official Vicon Tracker 3 [tutorial videos](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxtdgDam3USXPrhGA70ix8WT_nZBLK7qB). Note that, of the 14 videos on this playlist, only the following videos are absolutely necessary to watch: 1,2,7,10,11,12,13,14. But there is no downside to watching the entire playlist.
4. Thoroughly read the Vicon Tracker 3.7 user guide. You can access it online [here ](https://docs.vicon.com/display/Tracker37/Vicon+Tracker+User+Guide)(expand the "Vicon Tracker User Guide" drop down on the left hand side of the page) but it's clumsy to navigate so I recommend you download the PDF version [here](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/gitbook-28427.appspot.com/o/assets%2F-MKc9az4fYzF9_wFvhka%2F-MXsJ9R9nNIHlk-TAAbG%2F-MXsKLvRgBxSwPfHJTzd%2FVicon%20Tracker%20User%20Guide.pdf?alt=media\&token=8088a7d1-e673-4593-91be-50c6f9f0583e).&#x20;

If you are still struggling, reach out to Lee Whitcher to arrange a Vicon primer.
