Methods:
Geometry:
Photos with Scale rulers: By placing a scaled ruler, 1m or 60cm, against the object or wall, and then take a photo, we can reduce the time to measure the area as we can judge the size of surrounding elements at home.
Trigonometry: To measure heights that aren't reachable or slopes. Image Modeler and Photo modeler help do all the trig for you (plug-ins in Autocad)
Gradients: To measture slopes.
Laser Measure: Measuring, acurately to 3mm, the shape of the space.
Lighting:
Photos: Will help record general placement of lights and shadows and their colours.
Video: Will help capture flickering of lights, movement patterns.
Light Meter: Use to measure the amount of light in the space. Normally used to help photographers determine how much exposure is needed.
Sound:
Decibel Meter: Measures Sound, intensity and loudness
Video Recorder, or Sound Recorder: Measures what is heard and where
Interaction:
Photos: Capturing specific experiences and movements.
Vibration meter: Footsteps (however not as affective near the train)
Heat Scanner: To measure where people are, or where they are congregating
Human Mapping: Plotting dots on a map where people congregate- more sparse, there are less people, and where there is more, there are more people. Over time (peak hour)
Sensors: The ones that are on the automatic doors of shopping centres.
Requesting Tickets: Requesting the transit office for how many tickets are bought to go to Central (only find the numbers)
