Cabspotting @ Exploratorium
Nice visualization project at the SF Exploratorium (via Eric Paulos at Intel's Berkeley Lab):
Cabspotting: an alternate view of a living city:
A group of designers and programmers led by Eric Rodenbeck of the
mind-blowing Stamen Design firm created the wonderful
Cabspotting.org, an online art experience that traces the movement of
San Francisco's GPS-enabled Yellow Cabs as they move through the
city. It's part of the Exploratorium's larger Invisible Dynamics
initiative to "reveal radically surprising and inspiring views of the
systems interconnecting the communities of the Bay." The
Exploratoirum is also encouraging the creation of artist's projects,
basically novel mash-ups of the same data that drives
Cabspotting.org's real-time cab tracking and time lapse visualizations.
