Description

Smartphones are amazing field companions, and they are at their most fun and provocative when you misuse their capacities. While photogrammetry is most commonly employed to produce 3-3-d models of objects suitable to be inserted into augmented or virtual reality settings, as a field experimentation technology it is very productive for exploring realness, memory, AI, and any number of other themes. Using downloadable apps, we will use photogrammetry to create intentionally 'bad' 3-d objects, using them as tethers for ethnographic questions, musings, and flights of fancy.

To prepare, please do have a suitable app installed and ready to go. That will save us workshop time!

Newer Iphones have built in lidar, which can create 3-d objects. Since I am rabidly pro-Android, I can't give you more info about how it works or how to find it!

I personally use Polycam, which has a free version that will be just fine for this workshop.
