The goal of this project was to learn how to use gait data to come to conclusions and also partially how to use foreign software. A person's gait is defined by their manner of walking. Step length, arm swing, amount of steps for a given area, and height are all examples of factors of a person's gait. A lot can be determined from analyzing a person's gait, and many connections between different aspects can be made. Our assignment for this project was to use other forms of data about a person's gait to help find their height.

Conclusion
As it is easy to tell from the graphs, analyzing this data was hard. The software was buggy and each group had plotted over 300 points of data for just their group. Though, through careful analysis and communication between groups, we were able to find a small correlation between the length of each step, and height. A problem we faced while conducting this project was getting accurate data. It was extremely hard to keep the phones in the correct places while recording data, and harder to repeat it the exact same way again. After we collected our data, the next challenge was comparing it to the class. We had to find data that was compatible with ours and find ways to compare them visually. Overall, this project was a learning experience. I learned how to get through difficult situations and how to use more complex software
