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.

inside or outside the Alhambra in
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.)
