This is a parcel selection map for Pocket Fiche, an ultra high resolution slide made of 500×500 pixel parcels. Sign in, claim a parcel, then upload a black–white bitmap (500×500 px) to display on that parcel. Claimed parcels appear on this public map. After the campaign ends, this patchwork of images will get etched onto golden fiches at a resolution of 1μm per pixel.
To receive a login for the parcel selection map, you must be a backer of Pocket Fiche, Pocket Family, or Pocket Fiche Custom on Kickstarter. Backers of Pocket Field (standard microscope slide version) will not receive access to this map. Sorry!
Each backer of Pocket Fiche will get to claim a 500 x 500 pixel area on the golden slide. This giant patchwork of 1000 images will be etched into every Pocket Fiche and distributed widely.
Parcel selection logins will be sent by order of backing, so earlier backers will get first dibs on claiming their parcels. Logins will be sent in waves during the Kickstarter campaign. If you back the project for multiple Pocket Fiches, you can claim an equal number of parcels. If you end up canceling your pledge or downgrading to Pocket Field, your parcel will be released for others to claim.
If your account has multiple parcel slots, you can claim more than one. Your parcels list appears in the top-left panel of the main map. Click an address there to jump to it.
Each parcel shows its address (e.g. A:1
) at the bottom-left and is not editable and will appear on the final golden slide (for navigation purposes). Addresses are column letters + row number.
To get the cleanest result, start and finish in black/white. If you upload a grayscale or color image, the server will dither it to 1-bit. When the golden slide is made, black pixels will be dark (gold pixls blocking light) while white pixels will appear bright (letting light through).
