#bdat When thinking about how the concept described below could be developed, it occurred to me that word or tag clouds method could be used as the basis for the data for the projection. Word or tag clouds are used to monitor the words that are used the most on a webpage or website, showing the main topic of conversation for that group of people at a glance. The word cloud displays these most commonly used words or terms in an image away from the context in which they were found. An example of this is shown below:
Word clouds provide a surprisingly effective depiction of the most topical element in a piece of text or on a website. This concept could be used in some way to produce the data for the projection as the most current and topical information in Stonehouse could be discovered using a site with a word cloud. The words picked out by the cloud could then be used in the projection, making the projection a real time demonstration of the most popular topics of discussion/interest in Stonehouse.
