The model has 10 shiftbrites connected in an array , and 4 digital micro servos powered with 2 arduino boards.

One arduino board is  for the 4 servos, and the other one for the 10 shiftbrites.

The motion of the servos is controlled with the mouse via processing.

Multiple Perspective Lines through Movement

Mouse click to begin animation. Hold left mouse click for extra lines to appear through mouse movement. Also mouse click to change line colour.

{Note: In this animation I have realised that all lines (which in this case represent the perspective illustrations appearing through movement, they all have a meeting point.Here there exist 3 random Viewpoints and the Perspective illustrative lines meet at 3 further other points through the area, although they emerge  from the first 3 points randomly created. For this to happened there were 6 lines created. Which I found that 3 points to 2 lines emerging  = to 1 extra point. if there were more random points, ie 4 or 5 then there would be 2 times the number of the first point for the next point to appear as well as the number of lines emerging which wold be again x2 the number of the first points placed.}

Gridded Perspective Patterns

Flash switching through area points. In this flash video the points switching through are the marks where the photographs were taken and as mentioned in earlier posts, all photographs had one single camera target.

Click on {+} to get to the end of the animation where the flash buttons for switching between scenes are.

As mentioned above, athough I first took these panoramic pictures and drew the perspective outlines while looking at the gridded patterns from the exiting natural elements (trees)  I again decided to convert not only these outlines but also the posts in place of the existing elements to 3d as to look have them isolated and distinguished.

The scene is visualized with the illustrated perspective outlines as an architectural element. This architectural element emerged by first visualizing those outlines as 3d and then converting them to 3d by extruding the perspective outlines that formed a variety of gridded patterns. The idea is to observe and perceive what would be present architecturally, by means of forming  an internal or enclosed space that could be used to interfere with an occupants or users experience.

Following is a selection of 3 panoramas of the regions between the park’s paths, highlighting the perspective generated from a standpoint.

The trees as elements are transformed and represented as posts. Then through the ‘posts’ appear the perspective illustrations. Colours represent the perspective view that is nearer , in turn clearer, with red colour being the most explicable and understandable.

Distorted Motion, using Flash

From various sources, persisting with investigation on Perspective Vision and Paralax motion i have found that  in Peripheral vision,  on the outer extremes of the visual field, parallel lines become curved, as in a photo taken through a fish-eye lens. This effect, although it’s usually eliminated from both art and photos by the cropping or framing of a picture, greatly enhances the viewer’s sense of being positioned within a real, three dimensional space.

Classical perspective has no use for this so-called “distortion“, although in fact the “distortions” strictly obey optical laws and provide perfectly valid visual information, just as classical perspective does for the part of the field of vision that falls within its frame.
