The University of Delaware College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment (CEOE) project has built a “Global Visualization Lab” using Google Earth merged with sampled data (in KML files) displayed on four 55-inch Vizio plat panels. The result is navigated with a 3dconnexion space navigator and lets researchers see their data on the fly in high resolution, and share it with others.
Leveraging several organizations’ resources has helped illustrate another strength of the lab: It allows the data-gathering technologies to not just work parallel to each other; for the first time, they can actually work together. That has positive implications for how data is collected and viewed, Oliver said.
In their first test of the system, Oliver and his collaborators used satellites, underwater vehicles, and other devices to study winter algal blooms in the mid-Atlantic over a two-week period in November. As the data came in, computer models automatically analyzed it, created forecasts, and reported directly to the autonomous underwater vehicles to tell them where to sample next.
via Global visualization lab creates world of opportunities for scientists.
Google Latitude + Google Ocean = Real-time Fishing LBS Contents
Have you heard about Real-time Fishing LBS Contents? We have proposed this Service Model to Google over 4 years ago. Real-time Fishing LBS Contents is Location Based Service for IPTV, WiMAX, Mobile. This Service Model was created in 2002 by I&IWorld. I&IWorld’s located in South Korea. As you know, there’re many people enjoy fishing in the world(about 5 hundred million). I&IWorld’s Real-time Fishing LBS Contents is like these.
*Main Functions*
1.The underwater topography and 3D views with fishing spots
2.Real-time fishing points tracing by GPS and angling direction guide
3.Service the real-time fishing condition about fishing place(weather, water temp, depth etc)
4.Angler Social network(such as Second Life)
