The CAVE and Panoramic photography

February 5, 2009 at 2:41 pm (212mc work)

After seeing a demonstration of The CAVE and the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ride at Alton Towers, plus the brief discussion on rotating panoramic photography and cameras, i started thinking more about my artefact and how I could utilise technology like that to make my piece really stand out.

My piece so far involves finding buttons on single images to try and find evidence.  The pictures are just linked to each other as separate scenes.  But what if i could take a photo of a real hotel room with a fully rotating 360 degree panoramic camera and use that single 3D photo as the crime scene?

You could search an entire room without having to click on “left” and “right” arrow buttons to rotate around the room.  If i could make that happen I see it being similar to an interactive stadium tour where you can look around a building using the arrow keys and sometimes interacting with objects around you.

An example

I think this type of technology is well suited to what i’m doing and could really bring my artifact to life.  Although it is too late no to look into the possibility of it, I alteast know that if i was going to add to my artifact just for the sake of it, this is a route I could go down.
