Coming Soon from the CASA Team – SurveyMapper

By surveymapper

As promised some more details on our second project coming out of recent grants here at CASA, University College London and digital urban – SurveyMapper. We can’t say too much at the moment, but its custom written from the ground up and and could be quite a useful tool for anyone wanting to undertake a survey, complete with locational mapping while maintaining access to the raw data.

In short, its real-time mapping, crowd sourcing, model validation, spatial analysis and name of the giraffe? – Meet ‘Roger’. Sometimes science and geography don’t have to be ‘academic’, with this one we have hidden the science firmly behind the scenes, but it really is quite clever. SurveyMapper is part of the NeISS project (National e–Infrastructure for Social Simulation) and has been funded by the JISC via its Information Environment Programme.

By ASAV, MRes, talesofthings

Our apologies for the slow week on the blog – its due to the current move to launch two projects this month. We have just been down the road to pick up a bit of kit – all with the aim of opening the box containing the Internet of Things.

Follow Tales of Things on Twitter for more news and information, its going to change the way you look at the city. We did say two projects – more on the other later today or tomorrow.

If that wasn’t enough to keep us busy, we also have our new one year MRes in Advanced Spatial Analysis and Visualisation (ASAV) cleared by the University. If you would like to join us here in CASA, University College London, to learn the latest in urban modelling, GIS, visualisation and location based technologies keep an eye out on the blog, or follow us on Twitter – http://twitter.com/digitalurban/ the course starts September 2010.

Tales of Things – April 2010

By CASA, CASA Conference, internet of things, talesofthings

We are proud to announce that the ‘Internet of Things’ project we have been itching to blog about is set to launch mid April. The project is funded out of a digital economy sandpit with the technology developed by ourselves here at CASA, UCL and led by Edinburgh College of Arts, working with Brunel, Dundee and Salford Universities.

Termed ‘Tales of Things’ it is a possible game changer, cant say much more than that at the moment but if you want updates and to be first in when we launch, follow us on twitter – http://twitter.com/TalesofThings.

Just imagine every object holding a read/write memory and linking it to everything else. We will be talking about the project with a lecture entitled the ‘Geography of Everything’ at the free CASA Conference in London, April 13th. There are still a few places left so register soon if you want to hear about the project.

More soon – you can also follow the digitalurban feed on twitter.

flutter: Realtime Social Media Mapping

By ESRI, Flickr, flutter, geo Twitter, map mashups, YouTube

We are always wary of any description text that states ‘one of the most interesting things you’ll watch all day’ but it is actually a really neat movie and product, so we’ll let the marketing department off this time – flutter:



Written in Adobe Flex, the application mashes up ESRI’s ArcGIS Online mapping services with some of the most popular media feeds available today: Twitter, Flickr, & YouTube. The music leaves us waiting to see ‘Matt’ as it seems to the same track used in http://www.wherethehellismatt.com/ which kind of takes the focus away just a little bit.

See http://www.dbmediastudio.com/samples/mashup/ to see it running live, its quite hypnotic to watch.
