Today I will be reviewing a reading excerpt of “Ubiquitous Computing as Expressive Means of Personalising Public Space” by Margot Jacobs. The excerpt talks about project Tejp, which examines the utilization of ubiquitous computing in personalizing public space. The project uses a succession of experiments using low tech prototypes to help personalize public spaces. The concentration was mostly on people’s physical interaction with the prototypes. Each experiment entails different combination of media, structure & abstraction. Initially they started off studying urban visual cultures by interviewing public artists to understand the current use of acceptable atheistic in these public spaces. The prototypes used in this experiment were the Audio Tags & the Glitch. Audio Tags whispered personal messages into the ear of people walking by via motion detection. People were able to record their own 10 sec messages into the device as well. The Glitch on the other hand, broadcasts very loudly in a public location such as a bus stop, a passerby’s personal cell phone conversation very loudly to everyone else in the area.
I have observed that in unwanted cameras, unique devices help to maintain focus automatically. The sensors of some cameras change in contrast, while others work with a beam with infra-red (IR) light, specifically in low light. Higher spec cameras oftentimes use a mix of both techniques and probably have Face Priority AF where the dslr camera can ‘See’ the face while keeping your focus only in that. Many thanks for sharing your ideas on this weblog.
