Vision

To re-create Devonport as a distinct place in modern Plymouth, a vibrant self sustaining

community; a place of real quality, variety and interest, the pride of residents, attractive to visitors and a model of 21st century living

working and playing.

Plymouth City Council : Oct 2006

The Brief• To Plan for the process of taking down the

wall.

• “We will focus on the idea of a site as a transition zone…”

The Brief

• “This Wall is both a barrier and creates a sense of identity.”

• “This community is fractured and complex, but there was a strong sense of identity.”

What’s on the other side?

Berlin Wall

INITIAL IDEA

Graffiti By Numbers

Concept

Time Capsule

Demolition

CONCEPT

• Divide the Existing Wall into a grid

• Using a smart phone embed either a Photo or Graffitied section

• This will eventually produce a Virtual wall

• With Individual input from Devonport Residents

Technology Task• Using open source technologies in the field of

Augmented Reality and Internet of Things

• Identify an object in a unique way and link any sort of multimedia digital information to it.

• Place spatially embedded information also using overlaid augmented Reality

Our Plan

• To use Augmented reality with geolocation

• Image of a grid would be taken

• Geolocation of the grid would be used

• Image or Graffiti Data of the grid would then be loaded to a MySQL database

• The Layar application reads the data allowing a user via a smart phone to view the image in-situ

AR (Augmented Reality)

Augmented reality

(AR) layers digital

information onto a

physical environment

viewed through a

device such as a

smart phone.

3)Then by using a smart phone you can return to that area and view your image as part of the wall

OUTCOME1)A brick or section would be identified picture of

person taken uploaded to database

2)The brick or section removed
