BIONICAM FINAL PROJECTKRISTINE SWENSON

CASSANDRA JOHANNSBRIANNA SCHRODER

For our final project we decided to use a new technology called the “BioniCAM.” This device takes pictures of objects anywhere from 100 to 400

times zoom. We took pictures of everyday objects one could find in the courtyard, and will have the students guess what the close up image is

before comparing it to the real picture of each item.

CRAP APPLE TREE FLOWER

Apple trees are small, typically 4-12 meters tall at

maturity, with a dense, twiggy crown. The leaves

are 3-10 cm. long.

The flowers have 5 peddles, and are usually white, pink, or red. They show up in the spring after 50-80 growing

degree days.

GRASS

Grass is a herbaceous plant with narrow leaves growing

from the base. There are many different kinds of

grass.

Vigorous, course grasses are planted where there is going to be a lot of activities, and finer softer grass is used more for ornamental

reasons. Seeds can be mixed to get different textures.

SAND

Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed

of finely divided rock and mineral particles.

Sand participles range in diameter from .0625-2 mm. An individual particle in this range

size is called a sand grain.

FEATHER

Feathers are one of the epidermal growth that form the

distinctive outer covering of birds. They are considered the most complex integumentary

structures found in vertebras.

There are among the outstanding

characteristics that distinguish the bird from

other living groups.

BIKE TIRE

A tire is a ring-shaped covering that fits around a wheel rim to protect it and

enable better performance by providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock

while keeping the wheel in close contact with the ground.

The tread on the tires gives the bike more

traction with the road to prevent slipping.

BRICK

A brick is a block of ceramic material used in masonry

construction, usually placed using multar.

Multar is a workable paste used to bind the construction blocks together and bind the

space between them.

BARK

Bark is the outermost layer of stems and roots of woody

plants. It overlay the wood and consists of inner and outer bark.

The outer bark consists of the dead tissue on the surface of the stems.

Humans use bark for different products such as spices, resin, medicines, and

cork.

SHRUBS

Its usually less that 5-6 m. tall. Shrubs usually have a dense foliage, and many small leafy branches growing together.

Its distinguish from a tree from its multiple

stems and lower height.

SKIN

Skin is the outer covering of the body. In humans it’s the larges

organ, and is made up of multiple layers of tissue.

It guards underlying muscles, bones, ligaments, and internal

organs. There are 2 types of skin: hairy and glabrous skin.

OUR FINDINGS!

After using the BioniCAM, we decided that we liked the idea if this technology, but the actual using of the technology was confusing. We tried using it to capture a picture of a bug, but the bug kept moving so we couldn’t get it in focus. Because of this, we moved to plants and immobile objects. The technology was great for that once we were able to get the image in focus.
