IDAT 203 Final

The final piece for this project is intended to be an installation piece situated in a public place and requires the use of multiple Bluetooth transmitter / receivers and server

access for data / environment storage. I unfortunately do not have access to this technology at present and therefore the installation is not yet implemented. Due to this lack

of physical work i have "mocked up" some promotional images which can be viewed in the Pictures folder of this cd or on my blog.

The production process involved in making this installation is as follows:

1. Find a space and notify the relevant owner / proprietor of the establishment.

2. Install / mark Bluetooth positions.

3. 3 Dimensional grid survey and photograph the entire space.

4. Retrieve survey data and modify points using grid survey scanner software (Trimble real works survey office).

5. Upload modified survey points as a wiremap in Unreal Editor 3, Produce 3D surfaces and texture.

6. Register points of triangulation ( location of bluetooth receivers).

7. Upload to interaction software (produced in Java) and save on server.

8. Run program.

Production is likely to last approximately a month due to the speed at which 3D imaging surveys and processing can be performed.

Accessible via mobile devices ( limited usability) and laptops / PDAs ( higher functionality).

Evaluation:
This project idea was a bit more comprehensive than i could have managed in the time provided and with limited funds. Unfortunately, although I received feedback about this

issue I could not work out how to produce only a small part of the larger overall project without requiring the whole program.
