Artefact Two Feedback

My second artefact has given me results which are even more supportive of my research conclusion.

I decided to once again produce a questionnaire containing four images. Again, three of these were photographs, and the other was a computer-generated image by Alex Roman. Participants were asked to pick one image out of the four that they believed to be computer-generated and to give any reasons for their choice.

Results showed that out of the people who participated, a very low twenty percent of them correctly chose photo A as the computer-generated image. The main reasons given for choosing photo A were that the lighting and focus were not accurate, as well as some of the photo being blurred. In the image, Alex Roman has tried to give the illusion of filmed reality by adjusting the focus using depth of field. Eighty percent of participants were fooled into picking B, C or D, suggesting that computer-generated imagery can convince people by showing techniques used in photography. People who picked the wrong image gave reasons such as the textures not looking real and the images looking "cut-out". From this, it shows that Roman's image effectively mimics reality to fool the majority of people.

Artefact One Feedback

My first artefact returned results which supported the conclusion of my research document.

I produced a questionnaire containing four images, from which the participants had to choose from. Three of these were photographs, and the other was a computer-generated image by Alex Roman. Participants were asked to pick one image out of the four that they believed to be computer-generated and to give any reasons for their choice.

Results showed that out of the people who participated, only thirty percent of them correctly chose photo D as the computer-generated image. The main reason given for choosing photo D was that there was some repetition used within the bookshelf. This is only really obvious when you take the time to look closely at the image. However, the fact that seventy percent of participants were fooled into picking A, B or C, suggests that computer-generated imagery can mimic realism very well. People who picked the wrong image gave reasons such as lack of detail and unrealistic light levels. From this, it is obvious to see that Alex Roman's image must have very accurate lighting and show a high level of detail.

The modelling of Minus One is going surprisingly smoothly, the majority of the different elements have been completed. I am almost ready to put everything together and play around with materials and lighting systems. Images to follow shortly...
