the street view focus on the visual seems to be an effort to capture the transient but my needs are to capture repeatedly over time and not just the visual - I need temperature, humidity, particulate and other atmospheric
When you have your measurements, where do you put them? Both groups of data are transient, and you may as well put your temperature and humidity and particulate data in the same place as something that lets you look around to see what's there.
If you have a high particulate reading, wouldn't it be useful to pop into that point and look to see that there's a factory just up the road that is impacting on the sensor? If something's more humid than it should be, you can see there's a fire hydrant spraying water on your node!
Why separate the two? Photos are sensor captures of light, right alongside sensor captures of any other type. Throw in radiation, throw in cosmic rays, throw in anything you like, and all of that information is forever changing and transient in nature.
I want to capture EVERYTHING, and make it just as accessible as being there. If there was a tricorder that captured all the other data that you want, then all that data could be represented in Open Street View's databases, with an overlay saying "34 degrees" while you view!
There is no conflict. It is the same problem. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
