The Web Cam is not HIGH ENOUGH RESOLUTION



Upon entering the park, (Madison Square Park), with renewed energy for the project, I immediately tried out the large black letters on the floor through the gaze on the shake shack webcam. The results were not sufficient for real communication. Additionally, I felt that while people were interested in the letters, that we were sort of in their way by being in the only spot that had easy access to the garbage cans or... people didn't want to move from their spot on the line. Regardless we tested the letters on the ground for 45 minutes. We were not even in the slightest bit successful. One man circumambulated around the letters at one point, and a boy came running up to the letters in excitement but then did nothing. The results, the lack of desire for people to move from their line, plus the increasingly cold and windy weather on that side of the park prompted the group to relocate to the side of the park with the fountain (and the sun!)
