For my project, I thought I could combine Contained by Daniel Miller and Cabspotting by Peter Richards, while making it relevant to the University of Oregon campus as well.
Contained, by Daniel Miller
CabSpotting, by Scott Snibbe
Lillis Business Complex, University of Oregon
What I had in mind would be to track the flow of people in different areas of campus at different times (Cabspotting influence), and then make a 3D printed color coated model of what parts of campus (Contained influence) have the most people at what time. I think that, while it would take a lot of work to gather the data, I’m up for the challenge. I could do a great write-up as well as have a great visual with my 3D printed University of Oregon campus, printed with the help of Dean Walton in the science library here at the UO.
Some questions that I have:
- Would it cost any money for me to access the 3D printer here at school?
- Would anyone be able to help me use the technology?
- How would I track the flow and consistency of people?
- Cameras?
- Friends helping me posted at stations throughout campus?
- Would I need to clear any copyright issues regarding 3D-printing the UO campus?
- How big do I want my model to be?
- Can I make a heat map straight from the 3D printer, or would I have to paint the buildings after accordingly?
I can’t wait to get started!
