Photo Data App

59c877b168ea72a81b4f799df4eab91f Photo Data App

Seem to be possessed with apps at the moment, and they're not even all available for an Android-HTC-User blogger, not good. But I was sent this link to the 'the first app which enables iPhone users to create infographics on their devices'. http://www.photostatsapp.com/



Its not the fact that its infographics going wild, even saw a TED video that envisions health care on mobile devices as infographics etc, but I like the fact that Photo Stats 'analyzes metadata from the photos on camera roll' as the data source to visualise.

  Ok , there is daytum and its app to record data and visualise, but you are manually inputting and intentionally recording this data to visualise. I am intrigued that as I shoot it speaks/shows 'user’s photo taking habits' and where abouts these photos were taken recorded from gps and EXIF metadata... is it?

  All that data such as the camera type, the shutter speed etc  all data that should be visualised, not about the content of the photo.  

But I liked it as I'm intrigued and started to record the geography not just photo, but emotion, feeling through written, showing taste? something looking appetising whet's the lips? anyhow i just explored and experimented as a start here: http://visualisationmagazine.com/dineography.htm . I know these aren't in the EXIF metadata but seems there is something more to photos like this app is trying to do with habits, regular places visited, times of the day, light levels... could add to the mood/atmosphere of a photo.

I leave with this:

'If an image is worth thousand words how much is an infographic about all your photos in the camera roll?'

Future Everything

43d3a48aee58d6ee8eb9e49598e45b21 Future Everything

Art. Music. Ideas 11-14th May, Manchester UK. With an Art exhibition featuring Bestario see here http://vism.ag/55, the well known Nicholas Feltron see here http://vism.ag/3e, Mit project called Borderline, BBC Data Art project, Wilderness Downtown by Chris Milk & Aaron Koblin and what intirgues me and is a must to see is A Duet of Blizzards and Hurricanes Noel II by Nathalie Miebach.

 



Not only is there the art on show of data and mapping, you have the conference. Some intriguuing talks with Linked Data / LInked Stories sounding good as they look at data becoming more accessible everyday. Icononomical Data and Infographics looks good from icononomical founders. The internet of things that no longer exists, looking at the 24/7 of devices continuously connected to the internet in some way. Emotional Computing, Hacking Culture Urban Friction - Interfacing with the city.  On the 14th May Saturday a free confrence with open data hack and the manchester creative co-op.



My budget couldnt stretch to all these but they certainly intrigue me.  A zine exhibition to see and then the music. I'll be attending.



Interactive Digital Magazine

London-based BERG demonstrate the potential of tablet devices to deliver a rich experience for magazine lovers, much like a book on Amazon Kindle.  

Mag+ from Bonnier on Vimeo.  

I'm sure it will get blogged and retweeted-retumbled, dugg but I liked it and would love for the tablets to become affordable. Like CR say 'Magazine publishers are getting very excited about the potential of iPhone Apps' the tablet will be slightly bigger device. 

  'In this hugely impressive video, BERG walk us through their ideas for how magazines may work on such a device.'   

Via Guardian, Via PaperPapers via infographicsnews & seen via CR-Blog,  

'this isn't just pie in the sky conceptualising but part of serious research commissioned by Swedish publisher Bonnier R&D Beta Lab, which believes that such devices will be in use in two years' time'.  

The BERG concept certainly seems more considered than this idea for Sports Illustrated that has recently done the rounds online.

Live Energy Stats

 Live Energy Stats

Live stats which would probably come in handy for nicholas feltron. I know they have been out a while but thought i'd share. This electronic Energy Saving Monitor is a clever device that shows you how much electricity you are using in your home in real time - for example, you can check just how much your hair dryer is costing you as you use it. Plus you can also calculate the savings you could make by switching your TV off rather than leaving it on standby!
