Amen to that. One of the key things that is hardly ever addressed
in the
technical geospatial world is the appropriateness of the simple
cartesian representation of space. However, phenomenologists from
Heidegger onward argue that this isn't how we actually experience our
world. 'first person' views (either synthesised or from video) can
help
us, along with things like viewsheds etc, to understand spatiality at
the level of man.
I'm with both of you! I am interested in starting a geo-augmented
reality working group so we can at least kick around some of these
ideas. Anyone else interested?
Personally, I would like to see open source geospatial tools be
implemented in the 'true' 3D sphere - true meaning real world
coordinates for augmented reality so they can be an important part of
future solutions. I think we do have a lot to learn from the 3D
gaming folks, etc. but I wonder where/how us vs them are reinventing
the wheel?
A few articles from my memory...
http://www.directionsmag.com/article.php?article_id=2300 - I rant a
bit in the first comment after the article
http://www.directionsmag.com/article.php?article_id=2038 - a bit on
the OGC spec for 3D web services (W3DS)
Anyone got any bright ideas for bridging the augment/virtual reality
groups with our geospatial goodness plus some of our GIS analytics.
I would love to chat more... how about a working group?
Tyler
