iPhone 2.0 contains a GPSr (I'm a purist, it's a Global Positioning Satellite (r)eceiver), as does my much cheaper Samsung Blackjack, and millions of other devices. My Blackjack is a 3G device, capable of megabit/sec connection in most cities.
How can we take Cannery Life (an SIA 2008 Tour), the Google Street View of the area as part of Google Maps, external links to the History San Jose Cannery Life web site (the inspiration for the SIA 2008 tour) and turn it all into an engaging, captivating, informative look at a now gone aspect of San Jose's industrial history? Oh, and by the way, I don't have any money to spend on this. (blew it all on the data plan...)
As little as two years ago, this would be impossible to realize on a shoestring budget, now, hmmmm, anybody really know how to figure out where somebody is and pop the appropriate images, data etc?
How would we tell a visitor to the area that 10 min from her downtown SJ hotel is a cool, safe walk in an interesting area that even locals don't really know much about?
What about YOUR area? If we had simple directions on how to create this sort of thing, what would YOU like your visitors to see about the industrial heritage of where you life and work?
More questions than answers at this point, stay tuned...
