early medieval mapping All That Noise: RTD 362i Sound Art and Practice Watch_Dogs WeAreData Crowdsourced cartography in PublicEarth, OpenStreetMap | Webware Wikipedia killed the encyclopedia business, in print and online, as it's hard to make a revenue model work that involves paying people to create content when there are hordes of enthusiastic experts around the world willing to do the job for free. The business of mapping may be similarly doomed, as indicated by PublicEarth, a new wiki-style database of places launching Monday, and by the continued improvement in authoring tools at the crowdsourced mapping service OpenStreetMap. PublicEarth PublicEarth is an open database of places. Michael Rubin, who was an architect of Netflix, wanted to bring the same "element of delight" of connecting people to things they enjoy. As with other crowdsourced place databases, anyone can insert a location. The system will have a recommendation engine that learns what you like. The real value to PublicEarth is that it can find places that aren't, as they say, on the map. OpenStreetMap PublicEarth is an open database of items on top of a map. The crowded map

Unity and the augmented reality boom Currently, there’s an explosion of Augmented Reality (AR) projects, with fifteen new Unity-based apps appearing on the App Store alone everyday. They add a virtual layer to the real world that you can see through a camera or in a special display. AR brings radical innovations to countless areas, from guiding tourists and selling air conditioning to building aircraft carriers. Films like Iron Man or Minority Report show what this could one day look like. A more everyday example is Birthday Card AR by Fuzzy Logic, a studio based in South Africa. Unity editor extensions like Vuforia are used to build apps that recognize real world markers which trigger content displayed on a device. Performance headaches Device performance can be a major headache for AR app developers. Currently, AR is also limited by the size of device displays, whether it’s a mobile device used as a “magic lens” or a stationary display used as a “magic mirror”. Unity as the springboard Eyes on fashion, pioneers on board
Wiki 30 Superb Examples of Infographic Maps As you search the web you’ll come across a wide range of interactive and graphical maps. Deciding when, where and how to integrate or display a map on your site is the first step, the second should be what technology and illustrations to use. If you’re all about interaction, JQuery, Ajax, or Flash are all effective technologies that hold their own ground. Map illustrations are a dime a dozen however, a strong and balanced display of graphics, information, and colors is what makes an infographic stand out and reach its target audience effectively. As designers, we’re constantly searching for ways to improve and style our designs, this is exactly what the following 30 infographics and sites display below; the breaking of rules.
