This application takes a snapshot every time a treshold of x pixels alters in the camera’s view.
In other words, when there is significant movement, this will be recorded and displayed accompanied by the time the snapshot is taken. This application is the first in a series of tests that aim to find out how and why certain reactions takes place when ‘surveillance’ images are feedbacked to the public.
