visualising blogs across time and space
coultonp | 30 May, 2006 21:58
I have been working on a Python application that allows users to create an on-line Blog of text and images from their phone, using location coordinates from a Bluetooth GPS unit ,and ultimately links through to Google maps to produce a representation of their journey. Python proved ideal and it enabled is to create the application very quickly (less than a week) as shown.
Having created the system I decided that 2-D (latitude and longditude)didnt really give me a feeling of what happened along the journeys in relation to time so I have been considering how best to represent data associated with both the temporal and spacial information . I came across a technique proposed by a human geographer in which we add time as a third (vertical) dimension as shown.This represents a walk around the campus at Lancaster University and as you can see you get a much richer representation of how I travelled rather than simply were I have been.
I would welcome any comments of users experiences trying to represent space-time movements and any other techniques that may have been encountered. I will also post the code to interface to Matlab to produce the 3-D plots if people are interested.

AninaI already have done all that you suggest by linking in the application to google maps if you check out the link http://www.mobileradicals.com/index.php/Mobile_Location_Based_Services#Loco_Blog you will see a trip from the uk to athens. Google maps allows you to zoom in and out and we could follow the journey in real-time as it happened. I may post some more pictures as an example.
The 3-d plot is mainly used for socio-technical studies as it gives a good perspective in relation to time.
