from there to here @06:28 PM
This was recorded on campus today using GPS and my laptop -- although soon the tablet will help throw some legitimacy upon my claims that this is a mobile platform. Basically, you are always in the center of the screen and the world moves around you as you walk. You aim for the nodes scattered throughout campus, and when you come within a certain radius of a node, it will start playing a sound linked to that location. The sound will begin with no volume when you first enter the radius, and will gradually fade up relative to your proximity to the center. This allows a nice cross fade to occur when you are within the radius of more than one node.
Eventually I'll implement some code I wrote that uses the compass on the GPS to rotate the map and the nodes based on what direction you are looking.
Click on the image above, or here to see how the display looks when a user (me, in this class) is walking about campus a bit, and then strolls off to Zemekis.
