Based on geo clues, IR and other methods.
To start off the Picasa-Maps mashups, I’ve put together an example that combines a Picasa photo album feed with the Map API’s recently announced Driving Directions feature to calculate a driving route that will get you a similar set of photos. Now, no need to be jealous of your friends’ pretty landscape albums – just copy them! Try it out below by clicking “Load Album & Route.”
with a bit of additional hacking, a youtube version of this shouldn’t be too hard.
finally! yay. i have been clamoring for this since march 2006.
efforts to make geo-awareness a browser standard
web service that allows users to submit their location via a number of devices and then expose that information to application on a per-application basis. Each application has to register with the system and can be granted different levels of granularity.
up to 24 sounds would be showcased at first, but many more would be added later.
meanwhile, there all these audiotagging projects that never really took off. not so easy to properly record truly ambient sounds that are characteristic.
a project to build a 3D world from user contributed photos. They can “hang” photos of buildings, scenery, etc. in the right place in a 3D view to make it seem like the photo is part of the 3D rendering. Trouble is, it’s Flash based
all Wikipedia pages that are based on this template do from now on contain geo. What’s the benefit of all this? You might, for example, use the Operator or Webcards Firefox extensions to find a place in Google Maps or Yahoo! Maps with a single click. Other applications may parse a Wikipedia article and process the metadata in other ways.
one day they will have better geo visualization on the site, directly.
neat! uses the EXIF timestamp in conjunction with lat/long to show nighttime shots. now if camera manufacturers weren’t so lame, they would make sure metadata capture is easier and more accurate.
why geotag your photos on Flickr when you can just have them stuck right into Google Earth?
why indeed.
