University of Queensland, 2006.This Interaction Design Honours Course project attempted to create a physical model that allowed people to select town functions via the movable phicons, insert them into street intersections in the model, and the display would then show and rotate the street intersection AND where the function is in the panoramic photo. The round table could also rotate, and the rotation controlled the displayed panorama. Presented at CAADRIA 2007.
