Very proud of our lab's latest creation. A salted caramel cake in a planar projection of the southern hemisphere to scale. #cartography #mapmaking #mapsInTheWild #spatialthinking #spatialDoing #planarProjection

Matthew Cunningham spoke about using the surface from motion tool Agisoft to 3D map a pā site in the Wairarapa.

Fraser spoke about the outreach strategy he's been supporting on the #wairarapa project and showed off some of the project's webmaps.

Started off our Spatial Literacy User Group sessions for the year with presentations by Daniel Cooper on his transport accessibility indices and Matthew Cunningham and Fraser Rivers on the Wairarapa Glistening Water project. #spatialLiteracy #spatialThinking #spatialDoing

Today was a winner. Five moving narratives for 5 important wetlands in the Wairarapa. It was a real privilege to listen to these stories and also hear them take flight and come to life. The stories will be released in our #virtualReality application and on the project website next year. #research #wairarapaGlisteningWater #spatialThinking #spatialDoing

Spent yesterday in the Wairarapa creating an outreach strategy for our Wairarapa Glistening Water VR project. Today is back to the recording studio to capture more of the evocative place narratives in the voices of Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa. This project is so diverse and one of the reason academic study/research can be rewarding and engaging! #spatialThinking #spatialDoing #fieldwork #academicLife

Success!
Textured Earth by bld on thingiverse using creality black PLA filament and an Ender 3 s1 pro.

We've been having some teething difficulties getting started on top prints but this looks really promising. Annoyingly it seems the filament spool was the issue for the last set of problems. It seems to have either become tangled due to poor management on our part (definitely possible for us newbies) or camr that way.
