More progresss was made on the task of importing the panoramas into Stellarium. The panoramas have been cropped into four separate parts and scaled such that their number of pixels is a number which can be represented by the base 2 raised to a power i.e. all the parts are 512x256 pixels. The resolution necessary to illustrate the experiences of people of the campus will be improved later on. The priority at the moment is to import them into Stellarium and work on them later. It is the Autostitch programme that can be used to improve resolution although with increasing resolution comes an increased time to render the panorama. The only thing that remains to be done on this task is to put the parts of this panorama into a Zip File and edit the ini. file, a file that contains the coding of the landscape.
For the first time in many weeks, the Clifton Campus was alive and vibrant again with hundreds of prospective students touring the university. They would provide a fresh and interesting perspective of this site. One thing that has been found from several of the interviewees here is that they view the campus with a very functional, cynical or impersonal eye. The people that came here today on this Open Day came with a critical and open eye. Many of them were awe-inspired by the openness, modernity and spaciousness of the campus. They were implicitly saying that they like the openness and greenery of the campus. Thirteen groups of people, one of them a PGCE student and another some science staff in the Rosalind Franklin Building, were interviewed. The problem of not having a diverse enough range of people was solved today; the very first question I asked was what subject the prospective student was interested in studying. Some of the subjects mentioned were primary education (about 4 out of the 11 prospective groups), sports science, psychology, law, English, biomedical science, computer science and childhood studies. This diversity was really helpful and we got a diversity of sites that were frequently mentioned; the four most common ones were New Hall, the John Clare Lecture Theatres, the Lee Westwood Sports Centre and the Library.
I repeatedly advised the prospective students to reside in the New Hall accommodation over the Peverell accommodation. The Mary Ann Evans Building and Ada Byron King were also mentioned a couple of times; the latter two, John Clare and New Hall and the greenery of the rugby pitch are all conveniently within one 360 degree field of view which definitely warrants taking a panorama somewhere along the College Drive. This will also capture the redevelopment quite nicely. Several people asked what was going to be included there and the people asked whether it was going to be the "focus" of the campus. This word to describe the redevelopment of the campus will be included in this week's memory map. The Point was also mentioned and the Student Shop which means a panorama of the Student Village could be obtained.
