Quite odd, I was mulling over submitting talks on OpenStreetView to
SOTM and AGI conference today. I just noticed your website and thought
I'd see if you had mentioned it on the OSM mailing list, to find that
you had just over an hour ago. I have the openstreetview.org and .net
domains and have been thinking about this for the past two years
without actually getting very far on the technology side. The
openviewproject.org site also looks quite interesting, seems there's
lots of people considering this.

I have put together an extremely simple facility to allow users to
upload
panoramas and view their location on a slippy map at
http://www.openstreetview.org.uk/. (Sorry about .uk
but .org, .com, .net
appear to be already taken). There's also a blog there. It's not so
much a
working application as yet, but I thought I'd let people know so
that they
can make comments.
I am actually on the prowl today for a USB video camera that I can
plug into the computer in my car to take images as I drive, geotag
them (along with orientation) and upload them as I go. If anyone has
any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
Here's what I've found so far (with some help from Adam Schreiber):
-

- Also, my XBox 360 webcam (when plugged in to my Ubuntu box) can
scale up to 1280x...@5fps, which is almost perfect.
I'm trying to refrain from using a digital still camera for two
reasons:
1. Lots of snapshots will wear out the focus/shutter mechanism
2. Controlling the camera in a reliable way is hard.
