The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Spatial cinematic mediation in real-time architectural walkthroughs

Abstract

This paper presents a methodological framework for the utilisation of our cinematic camera control engine in the exploration and representation of architectural designs. In this paper, we report on a fully developed modification (mod) of a real-time engine (Unreal TM): a cinematic control camera engine designed to enhance a real-time navigatable experience architectural contexts. Basically, the mod enables the use of cinematographic techniques (Tracking, Cutaway, Exposure, etc) to explore architectural designs in a 3D real-time development and testing environment (the Unreal Engine). The purpose of our investigation is to use this "spatial cinematic mediation" to improve the presentation of architectural designs by facilitating a reading of architecture in a design sense. Additionally, the mod might be use by the designer to notice design issues which otherwise might not be noticeable. Currently, there is neither software nor a structured approach which facilitates this in architectural visualisations.
