Hertzian Space: Hertzian space is the electro-magnetic radiation emitted by electrical objects, an electrical aura extending around the object's physical space (Dunne, A. & Raby, F., 2001)
These cannot be visibly seen, but are definitely present and as part of this project we in the group will try to determine what these emissions could possibly look like in the Stonehouse area.
We also considered other methods of communication that we could monitor in the Stonehouse area, still focused on Union Street such as recording Blue-tooth signals we were able to pick up just by using our mobile phones.
There are various methods of connecting to people to communicate, but in all cases it is the use of frequency waves that allow the sending of data from one location to another. Such waves include Radiowaves, Microwaves, Infra-Red, Visible light, Ultraviolet Light, X-Rays and Gamma rays.
To begin looking into this, my group and I went down to Union Street and walked from one end to the other, stopping every 20 meters to record Bluetooth readings from our mobile phones. This was to find out how active the area was.
Bluetooth: Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. The key features of Bluetooth technology are robustness, low power, and low cost. The Bluetooth specification defines a uniform structure for a wide range of devices to connect and communicate with each other. ( http://www.bluetooth.com/Bluetooth/Technology/ ). It can also connect to numerous devices which allows synchronization. It has a limited span in which it can connect, but ranges between 10 - 100 meters depending on the device class.
