Being Undigital: The Wyckoff principle
- Differently exposed pictures happen naturally with WearCam
- Looking around causes the camera to point at different objects
- Brighter objects turn the camera's autoexposure (AGC) down
- Darker objects cause it to turn up
- Mathematical analysis of differently exposed yet overlapping
subject matter implements the Wyckoff principle
- This is called "Painting with looks" or "lookpainting" for short.
