Lesson plan on ICT – Granada

La Alhambra: Making panoramas on a field trip to the Alhambra in

Granada/Spain

Photosynth is a powerful set of tools for

capturing and viewing the world in 3D. You can

take photos in a 360 degree turn and experience

a panoramic view. Photosynth allows you to

take a bunch of photos of the same scene

object and automatically stitch them

that you can share with anyone on the web.

Objectives:

• develop students´ ability

• location

• Students take a deeper look on the objects and locations they take photos of

• promotes teamwork

• giving other students/teachers/parents who haven’t gone with them to Spain

what it feels like to be in that particula

gives a more complete story than seeing them as individual photos.

Materials:

To make panoramas from your PC, install

application from http://photosynth.net/

Cameras or Smartphones with rather good cameras, PCs.

Students start by standing in the centre of

the room with your camera zoomed wide.

They spin around, taking overlapping

shots as they go. (Make sure successive

photos are overlapped by at least 50%.)

Depending on how wide the lens goes,

they‘ll probably need to take 15-30 photos

to go all the way around. To give the room

a good 3D model, they should next shoot

overlapped shots from each of the

corners. For saturation coverage and the most reliable reconstructions, they should shoot from

the centres of each wall as well.

It is also a great idea to have different students to take the photos. It does not matter if

different cameras are used, or the resolution differ. It does not matter if photographs are taken

on a number of days.

Better to take extra photos than risk a missing link!

Lesson 2:

Students create a folder on their desktop and download photos into this folder for later use.

They should sort them and delete photos they don´t want to use and make sure the the photos

are all right side-up.

Lesson 3:

Lecture about how to use Photosynth and the Image Composite Editor. Teacher shows good

examples and the link for online tutorials.

Lesson 4:

Students launch Image Composite Editor and drop a set of panorama image files in the top

panel. They have to select "Stitch." Once this process is completed, they click on "Publish to

Web." Students will be redirected to the Photosynth website where they will Login and click on

the "Upload" button.

(The process of uploading the images is not a quick one and be warned that this may take a

while, depending on the number of images students have.)
