To me the problem is 1. Bad precision and 2. Lack of data. We experimented with indoor enviromnents based on our Indoor WPS approach and server (see http://gis.hsr.ch/wiki/IndoorWPS). These are some screenshots of an Android prototype: http://dev.ifs.hsr.ch/indoorguide4android/wiki/WebDocu .
So according to Mikes explanatory selection my answer is: > (X) d. Already into AR 3dgeo, not saying much about what we're doing until > it's ready. Yours, Stefan P.S. BTW I also was expecting bit more of response about my recent thread about "Better auto-discovery in the Geo-Web through "see" and "see also" links?" since I thought geo-search technology could be of interest to geowankers. I still did'nt give up. 2009/8/4 Mike Liebhold <[email protected]>: > wow!
