Bits and Bobs April 7, 2010

I met Mike earlier and talked about the 4d project, a few suggestions came up such as making the camera rotate around the data just to get a different perspective of the timeline of data from the arch-os system.

The second seems much more important which was to have a randomization on the time of history we a looking into, initally I couldn’t understand the purpose of it, yeah it made it less boring because something was happening on the screen but it did seem to be more important than that. It added some clarity in looking at the difference between the building 10 seconds ago and now and 50 seconds ago and 2 hours ago, the jumping about seemed to show that the building does go through changes but in the short term they are subtle but when looking at a wider timescale seem to be much more interesting.

Also goes well to dance music, mainly because the timings somehow match up at least in my head.
