The light in the end makes the room deeper
since we interpret is as a continuing space.
The room feels shorter when there's
warmer light in the background.
The sense of depth is more confused when the
distance between the frames are irregular.
All boarders of the room are partly dissolved.
We took our light machine out to a bus stop to see how the light in it is affected by it's surroundings. When people are passing the light are naturally changing. Here is a stop motion film of the study.
Based on pictures in the stop motion film and earlier studies we made a new light machine. The distance between the frames are irregular and has different boxes on the outside to lead the light.
We did the same bus stop-study with this new machine. Since we have less openings in this model it's less sensitive to its surroundings than the first model. But in the same time it gets strongly effected if one of the openings gets shaded.
