Photo for triangulation (right audience from right side)
These photos were part of an activity at the 16 UMass Amherst Summer School on Soft Solids and Complex Fluids. Each participant was given a colored circle with a unique ID number. The goal was to write down the IDs of neighbors, which involves deciding what a neighbor is.
One of the topics covered in my lectures was the Voronoi tessellation, which provides a way define neighbors unambiguously.
To test the Voronoi tessellation in this case, I needed to locate the IDs. I took photos of the audience from the left and right side of the room. This is sufficient to reconstruct the position of each circle using triangulation.
More detail and results can be found in lectures 1 and 4 from the summer school, and the analysis codes are provided in the associated GitHub repository.
