Future Intel Mobile Chips to Add
Location-Based Services 06/03/2004 01:35 PM

Though it's impossible to consider without thinking of the inevitable exploits (from Big Brotherish agencies and rowdy script kiddies alike), Intel has said they are developing support within their mobile processor line to allow computers to be aware of their physical location at all times. Although nothing is set in stone yet, Intel is working with others (Microsoft, for example) to add features that would integrate simple things like, say, selection of which printer to use based on proximity into future laptops and mobile devices. Sounds okay, but also the sort of thing that will probably hit all at once as mobile phones are already gaining GPS abilities and Bluetooth short range communication -- soon all of our devices will know where you are and will be happy to tattle to each other where you're hiding, whether you like it or not.

Location Based Services Becoming A
Reality 04/12/2004 03:27 PM
Now that more and more cars are coming with built in navigation systems, they may no longer be necessary. Lots of companies have been working on building navigation systems for mobile phones, and this review of such a system from Televigation on a Nextel phone suggests that they may be ready for primetime - especially considering the price differential between a $2,000 in-dash system and a $6/month system on your phone. While the in-dash system includes a bigger screen, and potentially more features, the fact that the mobile phone can be used anywhere (such as a rental car) and that all the heavy lifting occurs on a server (where the data is more likely to be up-to-date) may suggest that in-dash navigation systems don't have much of a future. What's more likely, of course, is that via Bluetooth, or some similar technology, such applications on a mobile phone will be connected to the in-dash display (and the vehicle's speakers) to make the overall navigation experience adjust to the situation. As the article suggests, this is only the beginning of location-based services in mobile phones, but by piggy-backing on a service that people understand already, it will make it easier to gain more widespread adoption. After that, additional value added features will start to appear.

Reuters - The use of a mobile phone to pinpoint a caller's location and nearby businesses was a hot concept when the tech bubble peaked in 2000, but only now with better phones and software does it stand to succeed, companies say. Mobile operators are selling much-improved services that help users locate friends or get directions to the nearest train station, but they have to fight off consumers' bad memories from 2000 and 2001, when they offered illegible maps on tiny black-and-white screens.

Location based media

Location based media 04/11/2004 02:29 PM

This is something Mikel and Marc Eisenstadt will like.

The Art and Science of Location and Media.

I came across two interesting experiments involving location metadata and media today.
First, scientists Roberto Cipolla and Duncan Robertson at the University of Cambridge are building a system for inferring location from image content:

Roberto Cipolla and Duncan Robertson have developed a program that can match a photograph of a building to a database of images. The database contains a three-dimensional representation of the real-life street, so the software can work out where the user is standing to within one metre.

Their project is the inverse of the Mobile Media Metadata project, which aims to infer image content from contextual metadata (including location). It is interesting to consider how the technologies might work together: taking a picture of a building tells the system where you are (South Hall). Knowing where you are tells the system what you are doing there (attending class), from which it can infer who the people in the picture are (your classmates)…
Second, artists Pall Thayer, Sara Kolster, and Pete Gomes are playing with the concept of geocinema, using open-source tools to superimpose GPS coordinates on video on real-time. Cool, but how much more interesting would it be if they could:

1. convert those coordinates to higher-level semantic location metadata ("the place I passed out last night"), and
   
2. use that metadata not just for superimposing on the video but as input for determining the structure of the video narrative?

Are Mobile Phones Disconnecting Us From
Geographic Location?

Are Mobile Phones Disconnecting Us From
Geographic Location? 11/18/2003 05:51 AM
It's happened to most of us, I'm sure. You're traveling somewhere, and you receive a phone call on your mobile phone, and you explain to the person that you're not in your hometown, but 3,000 miles away. An architecture critic is now complaining that the real problem with mobile phone use in public isn't that it bugs other people, but that it r emoves our sense of place and removes us from connecting with the location we're actually in at the moment. He's particularly upset that people walking around talking on their mobile phones aren't "experiencing" the urban landscape around them (no surprise that this comes from an architecture critic, whose very job is to notice the urban landscape around him). Instead, he complains that we're barely connected to our physical location, and quick to jump to the virtual location of our mobile phones. Of course, even if he's right, I wonder if that's such a terrible thing. No one is being forced to ignore their surroundings - and if the mobile phone opens up new or different landscapes around them (real or virtual) all it's doing is adding more options. Found via Gizmodo.
