Level 1 (L1) ferry gateway

Map the real site before artificial intelligence imagines the upgrade.

Dunwich (Gumpi/Goompi) ferry terminal is a live public project and a local place people already understand. A rough 360-photo map can let community members point to the actual site, add one idea at a time, then test it in outside image, video, three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) world-building tools.

Community field capture

If we map the existing place, we get better prompts.

On Sunday 7 June 2026, the field visit captured about 30 GoPro Max 360 photos around the terminal area. Those photos are not embedded here yet. The job of this page is to describe how that kind of capture can become a simple community map for testing generative artificial intelligence (AI) ideas.

Capture the actual site

If we stitch the 360 photos into a rough walkable map, we get a shared reference: ferry approach, road edge, waiting areas, trees, signs, slopes, bay views and pinch points.

Add one idea at a time

If a person adds one clear change, such as shade, seating, public art, safer crossing or clearer queueing, the model has a clean job instead of a word salad.

Compare versions locally

If the community can compare renders against the same site map, people can talk about what fits, what feels wrong and what needs proper engineering before anyone treats it as a plan.

The useful data ask

Ask for the files that make imagination accurate.

Artist impressions are useful for a first look, but they are not enough for local capability. The stronger ask is for shareable project files that let residents, students, makers and reviewers understand the real site.

Laser scan point cloud Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) gives millions of measured dots, so a world builder can see real heights, edges, poles, ramps and ground levels.
Survey and depth files Ground survey, levels and bathymetry, meaning water-depth information, help separate possible ideas from ideas that ignore tide, slope or seabed reality.
Design and drawing files Computer-Aided Design (CAD) files, concept drawings and public model files help people test changes against the same base instead of guessing from screenshots.
Licence and source notes Clear reuse rules, dates, authors and file versions tell people what can be shared, what is draft and what should stay with the project team.
Generator-ready prompt

The .md builder should output one clean paragraph.

This is the kind of paragraph a person could paste into Nano Banana 2, World Labs, Google Genie, Blender-assisted world tools or another visual model after attaching the real reference photos.

Starter prompt

Create a realistic 16:9 community consultation image of the Dunwich (Gumpi/Goompi) ferry terminal upgrade area from pedestrian eye level near the public hall and ferry approach, using the attached 360 photos as the site reference. Show the existing ferry gateway, road edge, waiting area, trees, bay context, signs as blank unreadable shapes, and one proposed improvement: a shaded public seating and information zone that feels practical, coastal and locally made. Keep people anonymous, do not invent official approval, do not add readable private text, and keep the scene grounded in the actual site rather than making a glossy resort render.

First pass

Use the current site and one visible change. Make it easy to judge whether the idea fits the real place.

Second pass

Change one control: time of day, weather, crowd level, queue layout, shade size, seating material or camera angle.

Keep it labelled

Every output should say whether it is a photo reference, community concept, official source, mock-up or later engineering issue.

Field song

The song turns the data request into a chorus.

Goompi Ferry Terminal Trip is a satirical field note about public money, local capability and the difference between a glossy render and usable project knowledge. The chorus is the plain ask: give the community the raw data, the measured files and the right to build skills with them.

"Give us the point cloud, baby, give us the raw."

That line is the whole brief: public infrastructure should leave behind local know-how, not just a picture on a board.
Sources and next step

Use public facts, local photos and one clear idea.
