Please read all the assigned papers (the links to "related papers" are not assigned). Write a short critique of two of them and a longer discussion of one. Both the short and long critiques should evaluate the techniques in the context of visualizing crowds of people. In your longer essay, describe how you would adapt the technique for the purpose of visualizing a crowd - include sketches of your idea. Be prepared to present your critique and sketches in class!

This assignment is due Tuesday Oct 13 by 5:00 p.m. Please submit the URL of your critiques online.
