Week 2

Task for Today:

I thought up of an idea after watching this tutorial, to measure the amount of people entering the building, I could use this idea on a bridge which directs people straight to the entrance of the building. To set a limit to the amount of people in the building, the bridge should be able to sense if someone is walking along it, 


Independent Study:

1.       1. From the technique presented in this week’s Task for Today I can adjust a couple of the nodes to suit my chosen Pachube feed. I could possibly link the amount of people walking into a space to the number of levels which the building has. There could be a bridge which measures the number entering the building and once the maximum number of people entering has been reached the bridge collapses.

1.       2. For the Analytics Engine I plan to incorporate the sense of space which derives from the user’s interaction with the architecture. The space in which users circulate will only form solid walls once the room is filled with multiple users and the floor lights up when the maximum amount of people are on each floor. Rather than just testing the triggers on humans, will the sensors detect in a vehicle was to drive in and out of the ground level? This shouldn’t be possible, but since vehicles are treated in the same manner as any other entity it might trigger the sensors. Once the maximum number of people is reached the walls will stop moving and the front facade of the building will form, locking in the people inside.
