Process
The making of 'Peeping Board'
8x4 ft plywood
nailing the board
25mm / 20cent hole
Front view: Flat surface with a hole
Back view: Created the stand to make it stable and balance.
Painted the board with black paint. (only front surface)
Taraaaaa!
Completed; front view
Completed; back view
It is impossible for me to build a board that is 7 feet tall using hammer, saw, nails and everything else on my own. My father was the one who helped me out to build this peeping board until it is able to stand like the image above. Thank you so much daddy! After everything has done, my brother and I painted the board black in color.
No more monitor.
I've changed my mind on using the monitor to display the live visual from the webcams; instead of using monitor I'm going to use a 19" Flat screen TV because there will be 6 visuals on the screen so I think if I use a bigger screen, the visual will look bigger and clearer.
Crit II
I have found a new software called 'iSpy'. It is free and can be used without limit because it is an open-source software. There will be no advertisement on the screen or time limit. So I will use this software for my project. Below is my progress on testing out the software using 3 webcams from different angle. However the angles might be different for my final. These only to show my rough idea of placing the webcams.

Types of webcams
WEBCAM 1
WEBCAM 2
WEBCAM 3 - has 'Follow my face' feature.
Mr. Hafiz gave me a link and asked me to try a free software called 'VH Multicamera Studio'. I've downloaded it and tested it using few webcams. How ever, this software can't be viewed in fullscreen. Although the window can be maximized in many size, the toolbars will still be there. :(

Finalized measurement of the board for the peeping hole that will be placed between the spaces. (stalker's room and stalking space)
Testing
I have tested out few softwares. I still haven't found the most suitable software to be used for my project because all of the softwares are trial version.
'Security Monitor'
'uWatchIt'
'uWatchIt' - expired! *fail*
'Webcam Spy'
'Webcam Spy' - It can display 4 webcams at the same time, but the screen is too small. This is a trial version.
'Security Monitor'
full screen
'Security Monitor' - This software is almost suitable for my project. It can be viewed in full screen with 4 grids. However, it is also a trial version which there will be an ads on the screen.
The output display at the monitor.
Crit I - Multiple Webcams
I have been testing out few softwares for multiple webcams. Softwares that I have tested are 'uWatchIt', MultiCam Pro, Security Monitor, Webcam Monitor and Webcam Spy Pro. These softwares are actually used as surveillance monitor at house or office only by using webcam.

Final Proposal
Title: Stalker
Theme: Body, Identity and Sensors
Problem Identification:
Stalking is referring to unwanted, obsessive attention by individuals to others. These stalkers are trying to invade other people's privacy and it can be lead to another issue. However, stalkers are actually being stalked as well, while we are busy stalking others, there is someone who probably stalking us too.
Aim and Objectives:
- To let user experience the feeling of being stalked

Aim and Objectives:
- To let user experience the feeling of being stalked
- To let people experience living in insecurity
Ideation and Concept
Create a room with a peeping hole. There will be cameras from different angle and there will be a monitor behind the peeping hole. When users peep into the hole, they will see their live visual at the monitor. This will slightly look like a surveillance monitor.
Final Synopsis
Stalking is referring to
unwanted, obsessive attention by individuals to others. Stalking behaviour is
an issue where the stalkers are invading other people's privacy and it can lead
to another matter.
The aim of this project
is to let user experience the feeling of being stalked and be the one who is stalking.While you are busy
stalking someone, there is actually someone else who is doing the same thing to
you as well.
Users can peep into the
peeping hole and a live visual of the user from the back view will be shown on
the screen at the back of the seperator. Users will experience the feeling of being stalked
while they are stalking.
Contextual Studies
Personal Context
Stalking behaviour creates a paranoid feeling which is not comfortable with the surrounding. The victims will feel insecurity and hard to trust anyone around them.
Experiencing the feeling of being stalked is personal. Some might like it and some people don’t. Be aware of the surrounding is very important.
Social Context
As for social context the behaviour of a person is general. The society somehow will have the feeling to revenge, being obsessive and do any inappropriate behaviour. In stalking cases, the one who is in a relationship or used to be, is the majority.
Cultural Context
- The trends and methods of stalking behaviour have become a culture. There are many methods to stalk that are used nowadays. Being stereotype is also a common attitude in the society.
