Photosynth: 3D Models For Virtual Earth
Blaise demoed a model of Banteay Srei that he had constructed that morning in 5 minutes from a couple hundred photos. The image above is from that model. Separately UW professor Steve Seitz is using a precursor of Photosynth to also build 3D models from online photos .
Zones of Exclusion
Researchers at the University of Glasgow, sponsored by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation , have spent the past two years asking young residents of Bradford, Peterborough, London, Glasgow, Sunderland, and Bristol to draw maps of their own individual urban experience in order to explore micro-territoriality as both a cause and a symptom of social exclusion. You can read the full PDF of their report here . “In Glasgow, Sunderland and Bradford,” they found, “a recognizable territory might be as small as a 200-meter block or segment.” In Tower Hamlets, London, fifteen and sixteen-year old boys mapped their world into three streets, a football pitch, a barber shop, mosque, Indian restaurant, and – just beyond the clearly marked “Front Line” – an off-license, or liquor store.

Visualizing Supply Chains
Obama | One People
For President Obama's 100th day in office, the MIT SENSEable City Lab has created visualizations of mobile phone call activity that characterize the inaugural crowd and answer the questions: Who was in Washington, D.C. for President Obama's Inauguration Day? When did they arrive, where did they go, and how long did they stay? The results of our advanced data analyses are presented in two dazzling visualizations that celebrate Barack Obama and the people who supported him from all over the U.S. and the world.

Henry Hudson 400 | Amsterdam - New York | April - September 2009
Or maybe all of that is a bit cheesy. Maybe that sounds too much like the origins of D&D , replayed all over again in an era of satellite mapping. Or it sounds like some bad dot-com fantasy, where handheld devices will give us access to things we've never experience before, an ability to navigate the city anew and... thus do something or other to raise a company's stock prices. So let's pull back a bit, quickly, and restart the idea - and say: well, then, instead, let's develop a new overlay for Google Maps and populate it entirely with events from science fiction. Books, films, song lyrics.
Entropist: Google Maps of Sci-Fi
In an understated post today to the Google Lat Long blog , a major new wrinkle in online mapping was announced. Google Maps can now be edited by anyone. Once signed in with your Google Account, you can change the details or location of any listing on Google Maps, or delete a location's listing altogether. Recent edits, which you can view through a strange interface here are going to be a nightmare. How will the validity of edits be monitored? I have no idea and the project's FAQ page is a 404, as is the page for business owners.
