A Drive Down Stonehouse: Photos

After visiting Stonehouse again with thee group in a car, we all decided that this method of research was particularly useful to the project. By driving in the area and many times back and forth down Union Street we were able to locate certain areas we believed would be a perfect place for projecting. We took many photos and video clips of the journey on the course we took, and below some of the images we captured that night.


This image above is clearly not of the floor of the street, but was taken from the roundabout that is fairly central to Union Street and a hot spot for the majority of people moving in the area. This could be a good building to project infront of aswell as the Dance Academy as I have previously discussed.


The above images show pictures taken that are not very blurred and give a clear shot of the street ahead. These prove useful to determine where pedestrians are in the streets aswell as revealing a good capture of the the light. The reason the light is so important for this project is because we need a fairly dark target area for our projection so we are able to project out our interactive video in the clearest it can possibly be. A dark location will provide the best projection as any other light source around the area will reduce its quality. All the images above show an extremely dark vision of the street ahead, making this an ideal place to carry out our projection.

Below are images with slower shutter speed to capture areas in and around Union Street that have many light sources which prove to be areas that are not suitable for the objective we have set out to achieve.



Although these images are not clear and cannot really show any of the potential pedestrian hot spots, this is not the purpose of them. As mentioned before, these images were captured strictly to display well lit areas which will help narrow down the locations we could use to project out interactive video.
By taking these images on route, they have made choosing a projection location much easier and we as a group now are much closer to finding it.
