This is an update on the scale of the Parasol structure and also the "observation deck" which located in the middle of the intersection.
The observation deck : is taken a form of a concentric circle with a hole in the middle of approximately 10 meters in radius. This hole will allow the users to look down upon the zebra crosswalk and perhaps there could be a possibility to project "cham performance" on to this surface. In order for the users to perceive this projection or to comprehend the full size of this zebra crosswalk they will have to walk around a bit to get the fully comprehensive view because the radius of this aperture is not equal to the size of the zebra crossing.
The detailed dimensions of this observation deck is posted below.
The Parasol Structure : resembles an ellipse form with the radius of approximately 50 meters and the height of 10 meters. The height of this ellipse form is determined by the viewing angle in reality when human head is tilted up to look at something, 10 meters seems to be the optimum angle in which the human head is at its maximum vertical angle to the rest of the body. The parasol structure is created as a roof structure sitting above the observation deck. Possibly part of it would eventually get fragmented based on the camera logic to be part of the multi dimensional advertisement surfaces posted on the earlier update.
Focal Length : is 22mm to resembles the human eyes focal length. This is from the Cambridge University's research onto the comparison between human eyes and camera focal length.

The Parasol Structure
The parasol structure has a radius of approximately 50 meters. The scale is kepth with in this range otherwise it could get too big and would impose challenges in term of the structure feasibility.

Hi Nott.
ReplyDeleteLooks as if the parasol (lets call it sky) is very very big, I mean covering a lot of area. Start replacing it with other kinds of billboards as you go from camera angle to camera angle. It is covering to much. You can almost not see the street. But as we spoke about yesterday, the sky will be cut bit by bit. I think the lenslength should not go wider than 20. Instead you are going to have to tile the camera angles like we spoke about. I think it will be more powerful if the image is broken in smaller fragments. If the largest billboard is 10 by 10 meters or so. And that the sky does not touch the buildings directly but that you leave a gap. Start to think also about the graphic interface for the information dome. What will be shown? You will have to design many different versions. Maybe you could make another level of walkways ontop of the sky? Just though of that. And think also about the users as you brought up the issue yesterday. Continue the good work. And Push it harder Nott. You are in a super position that could make the final images and video amazing. F
Thanks you, aj F. I greed with the scale of the sky and it has to be fragmented like you said. This was meant to be a reference surface to extend the line of the cone of vision and then scale these smaller panels up like you said in the tutorial. But now I'm working on mapping these smaller panels onto the existing buildings. And the sky shape will go from here.
