Through experiments in spatialising foveated level of detail (LOD), the fixations and saccades of the eye are utilised to encode and refine spatial narratives. Whilst utilising the same technologies to explore new climbing typologies within the centre. Serving as an attempt in lessening the dissonance between the imagined and experienced architecture, the climber, and the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside hosting formal sports climbing events regulated by iFSC (International Federation for Sport Climbing), the centre also facilitates an archival system, utilising photogrammetry to capture climbing routes present around the world within the architecture. Acting to preserve and celebrate historical climbs at risk of disappearing to rock fall and weathering. This process manifests as a collaboration between the existing quarrying industry on Portland and the international climbing scene, breathing new life into Portland\u2019s wavering economy and social mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bartlett_2022_MArch_PG21_Hugo_Loydell_Image_03_Eye-tracker-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bartlett_2022_MArch_PG21_Hugo_Loydell_Image_03_Eye-tracker-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bartlett_2022_MArch_PG21_Hugo_Loydell_Image_03_Eye-tracker-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bartlett_2022_MArch_PG21_Hugo_Loydell_Image_03_Eye-tracker-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bartlett_2022_MArch_PG21_Hugo_Loydell_Image_03_Eye-tracker-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bartlett_2022_MArch_PG21_Hugo_Loydell_Image_03_Eye-tracker.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-3 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-container-1 wp-block-column\">\n<p><strong>The Eye-Tracking Headset<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A custom eye-tracking headset was designed to achieve sub-2\u00b0 gaze accuracy.
