Flickr + Google Maps = Geobloggers
Flickr + Google Maps = Geobloggers
I knew it was coming… but still, it’s incredibly exciting now 
that someone has done it. They’ve combined the photo-sharing
goodness of Flickr with the mapping goodness of Google Maps. The result is Geobloggers.
Basically, you can “tag” your Flickr photos with the latitude
and longitude where the photo was taken, and the photo
will be displayed as a push pin on a Flickr/Google Maps
combo. The icing on the cake is the awesome
Greasemonkey script(s) that make it really simple to a
dd these latitude and longitude tags to your photos.
How easy? Watch.
The whole process takes 10 to 15 seconds.
I can’t wait to see what cool uses people
find for this. This is practically begging
for someone to use it to document a
nationwide road trip.
F
Go to the Flickr photo, and click the ‘add Geo
Tags’ link
Enter a zip code or an approximate address.
This photo was taken at Busch Gardens, FL,
so I entered in the nearest intersection, Busch
and McKinley
This got me close, but I wanted to show where
I was in the park when I took the photo.
Doubleclick to recenter and set a more accurate
position. Use zoom to be more accurate.
On the right, click the ‘Add GeoTags to your
Flickr image’ link
Click ‘Add Link to Description.’ If this isn’t
your photo, and you are allowed to add tags,
you could click the second button.
Notice that the geo tags have been added on
the right. All you have to do now is click the ‘
GeoTagged’ link in the description.
The image is now added to the Geobloggers d
atabase!
The whole process takes 10 to 15 seconds.
I can’t wait to see what cool uses people
find for this. This is practically begging for
someone to use it to document a nationwide road trip.

Nice tut up there.
Google Maps doesn’t work in India I think,
so sadly this as of today isn’t any use to me

hi. nice idea.the easiest way is to
put the gps data of each picture
into the picture directly.. so google
maps will map it automatically..we
I guess if it really makes a value to
tag images to geo coordinates … or no?

Elumens is a low-cost 3D immersive viewing system
 | ||||||||||
|
1. What is it?
The VisionStation by Elumens is a low-cost 3D immersive viewing system with a wide range of applications.
2. Which applications?
The VisionStation can be used with applications from many different areas of endeavor. Simulation and training, oil and gas exploration, product presentation and entertainment applications will all benefit from the use of an Elumens VisionStation visualization system.
3. How do the applications benefit?
Standard flat-screen applications can display a field of view (FOV) of no more than 60°. The Elumens VisionStation allows for a fully immersive display of 160°. The VisionStation's ultra-wide FOV creates an amazing sense of space and depth, without need for goggles or glasses. The large size of the VisionStation screen (1.5 meters) also helps promote an excellent sense of immersive 3D.
4. How does the VisionStation accomplish these things?
Elumens' patented TruTheta software enables software applications for use with Elumens Vision series products. TruTheta software comprises a set of software libraries available at no charge from the Elumens website. Elumens' spherical screens promote an excellent sense of 3D and "presence".
Elumens' unique custom optics enables full-screen projection at 180° with perfect spherical projection. Onscreen images have extremely high fidelity to signal.
5. How do I set it up and use it?
The VisionStation is very simple to set up and operate. Once the system is assembled--a fifteen-minute job requiring only ordinary tools--the VGA output from the users' computer is plugged into the VGA input of the VisionStation and the system is ready to run.
6. Is it portable?
Like all Elumens products, the VisionStation was designed with portability in mind. The system breaks down and packs into two optional ruggedized carrying cases. The cases fit into a standard cargo van. The portability and durability of the VisionStation make it a perfect choice for trade show and exhibit use.
7. How does the VisionStation relate to other Elumens products?
The VisionStation is designed with the same conceptual "backbone" as all other Elumens Vision series products and shares features and technology with our other models. The low cost, ease-of-use, and effectiveness of the VisionStation is are also available in our larger models, the VisionDome3 , VisionDome 4 and VisionDome 5.
