Project Details
- The goal is to explore "sense of place" by making computer models based upon the physical world.
- These models are made in a Verité tradition of working in uncontrolled environments with minimum disturbance to them. The first phase of an 18-month project is presented here - a virtual dome is created and "hand-crafted" using only a fish eye camera, a single point rangefinder, existing maps, and common sense knowledge about the world to recreate a more accurate spatial representation.
