Looking Up (live link) is a collection of photos of the sky positioned relative to where they were taken. On hover, the GPS accuracy at each point is displayed. Both the accuracy readings and photos offer an oblique description of the tree canopy and open space in Prospect Park.
The photos were collected as part of a larger adventure through Prospect Park, detailed in the post “Field Data Collection (001): Prospect Park Walk“. Each photos was taken while facing north, and taken as a whole, the set describes the duration of the data collection.
Next Steps:
- Show corresponding aerial image on hover.
- Pixelate images according to the accuracy reading on hover.
- Experiment with different sampling densities.
- Layout images according to recorded GPS coordinates at each point rather than the idealized grid. Some images will overlap and some will misalign.
- Re-export images to match web standards and reduce loading time.
