Reading the cloud: Making sense of location based data
- 1. Reading the cloud Making sense of location based data Chris Marmo PhD Candidate, RMIT University
- 2. Today... Parks Victoria project intro How can we use location based data?
- 4. Geoknowledge Project How can Parks Victoria better utilise the knowledge it and its staff have?
- 5. Geoknowledge Project Valuable, park specific knowledge, obtained through years of experience, is inaccessible.
- 6. Geoknowledge Project Valuable, park specific knowledge, obtained through years of experience, is inaccessible. How can we share that knowledge?
- 9. Geoknowledge Project Knowledge People
- 10. Geoknowledge Project Knowledge People
- 11. Geo-tagged data is everywhere
- 12. invisible cities invisible cities
- 13. Information needs to be interpreted to be useful
- 14. “Knowledge is a consensus of interpretation” Burke, 2000
- 15. ?
- 16. Augmented reality (amongst other things) (amongst other things)
- 17. Our idea Allow people to generate knowledge in the places that knowledge is about.
- 19. Factual v Social
- 20. AR gives us context
- 21. Context can be confusing
- 22. Place vs Space Harrison & Dourish (1996)
- 23. Space is raw location - the GPS coordinate
- 24. Place arises through social interaction with space
- 25. “Knowledge is... the dynamic by-product of unique relationships between an individual and the environment.” Jeong-Im Choi on situated cognition
- 26. Studying interactions with space
- 28. To allow...
- 30. So... AR can help us make sense of information in-situ Context is more than location Design for place
Editor's Notes
- #11: This is becoming a very common problem;
- #12: what do we do with this resource?
- #13: Mobile computing leading to more and data being recorded with a gps coordinate
- #15: this hints at the social nature of knowledge. It’s important to allow people to collaborate.
- #17: AR is great for visualising data in context
- #19: - traditional AR is about overlaying - what if you think of it as revealing information that is already there?
- #20: what if AR could allow people to explore data too?
- #22: visualisation isn’t the secret ingredient. We need to select the information we present carefully.
- #26: The reflects the importance of context; where context is social meaning attached to locations.
