Roland Levinsky Mapping

Since last week I have obtained the Blue tooth data of the Roland Levinsky Building as I explained in my last post and have then mapped it out accordingly. The map I produced is as follows:

This map displays all the Blue tooth devices found, relating to which floors they were available on. I chose to focus on this element of the data as it was quite interesting how some devices were available only on one floor while others were multi-floored. However it was difficult to tell from the data which ones stretched over how many floors and so I incorporated this into my map of the building to create a better visual representation by which the data could be more easily understood. The image has a key as well as showing the floor numbers down the side as this enabled the data to be split up more precisely and to be grouped with devices that showed similar characteristics.

The next step in this project is to start to use GPS to map environments more accurately.
