I build digital tools that document how land gets used.

A working archive of technology demonstrators by Timothy Pittaway: virtual farm tours, field mapping and applied digital methods for agriculture and land use research.

My current research is at transitionalvulnerability.org →

About this archive

This domain started as a virtual reality and agriculture experiment. It has since become something more useful: a place to keep the standalone technical work, the demonstrators, prototypes and field methods, that sit alongside my main research but do not belong on a research site. My academic work on transitional vulnerability in agri-food systems lives at transitionalvulnerability.org. Everything below is applied and practical.

Virtual Farm Tours

A short methodology for building virtual farm tours, written during my time on the CODECS project. I am no longer involved with CODECS; this is kept here as a record of the approach, with the two demonstrators it produced shown alongside it.

Field study · Aberdeenshire

Sneckdown Research Project

An experimental study using snow path tracing to map how people move through a public woodland. The method paired simple field observation with digital heat mapping to show community use patterns and quiet refuge areas, a low cost approach for planning shared green space and land based enterprise.
