2. 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.

4. 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…”

5. 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.”

7. What’s on the other side?

8. Berlin Wall

9. INITIAL IDEA

10. Graffiti By Numbers

12. Concept

13. Time Capsule

14. Demolition

15. 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

16. 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

17. 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

18. AR (Augmented Reality)
Augmented reality
(AR) layers digital
information onto a
physical environment
viewed through a
device such as a
smart phone.

19. OUTCOME
1)A brick or section would be identified picture of
person taken uploaded to database
2)The brick or section removed
3)Then by using a smart phone you can return to
that area and view your image as part of the wall
