PhotoSynth…Site Observation 6

Our site installation involved placing facades in front of the certain existing buildings along Perkins Road in the overpass area.  To synth the area together we took additional pictures to try and link the existing panoramas together into one contiguous ”walk thorough”.  This did not really work when I tried it in PhotoSynth. 

There I tried to include “keystone” images that I figured photo synth could use to tie the various groups together but this did not work. 

I just went ahead and divided the several hundred images up into four main groups to represent the four parts of our installation.  Essentially we had to make up a system of nodes that you travel through to represent the installation site through PhotoSynth.  This  ended up agreeing well with the documentation that we already have prepared to render our installation.

  Below you  will see a a panorama of each site with and without the installation followed by a link to the PhotoSynth  model of the same site.   

I like the way the PhotoSynths came out.  I would have preferred that they were a little more seamless but you can “click” around and move within them.  I think all 4 of the “Synths” have multiple view points so do not be afraid to “click” around in there and explore the views  a little.

Freedom Fuel:

This area does not have a Panorama to go with it.  This little gas station does bridge the gap between The Pharmacy, and Cottonwood Books.  It is also across the street from the former hardware store.  I thought it would be nice to use it to bridge the other PhotoSynths but it did not work.
