Ben Cooper-Woolley discusses realtime 3D environments and how they offer the user the opportunity to navigate a 3D model, viewing from any perspective and interrogating model and data.
Sensing to shape the virtual world
This is a story about what happens when you give a Mechatronics engineer a new toy and a free Friday afternoon.
The Secret Lives of Projects
The Secret Lives of Projects is a visualisation of the content creation of an Arup project. It is a thought piece around the question “What is the shape of a project?” and links data from a number of sources.
Sensing the city, update three: sensing
This update is in three parts: ‘our approach’; ‘the hardware’; and ’sensing’. This entry is continued from ‘the hardware’.
It turns out few people have Bluetooth turned on and visible by default. When my colleague at Arup Jason McDermott helped create an urban sensing installation in central Sydney (Smart Light Fields) they observed around 8% of [...]
Sensing the city, update two: the hardware
This update is in three parts: ‘our approach’; ‘the hardware’; and ’sensing’. This entry is continued from ‘our approach’.
CRIN have explored some simple hardware platforms, particularly the Gumstix and Beagleboard ’sawn-off’ PCs (strictly, ‘computers-on-module’). Below, a few shots from a recent session discussing the hardware. Be warned, this will get a little geeky.
Note the core [...]
Sensing the city, update one: our approach
This update is in three parts: ‘our approach’; ‘the hardware’; and ’sensing’.
A quick technical update on our mobile phone sensing project with UTS (see earlier post for context). This project is exploring technical approaches to sensing the presence of mobile phones in transit environments (bus, train, ferry etc.) as well as pedestrians, in order to [...]
