Interesting discussion on Google Wave’s potential to provide the free and open framework for shared distributed AR.
Followed by lengthy talk with Jemery Hight on modulated mapping, layers, channels and social augmented experiences…
“the map in the older paradigm is an artifice born often of war and border dispute and not of the earth itself and its processes… the new mapping like google maps is malleable, can be open source, can read spaces and can be layers of info in the related space not plucked from it as in the past..this is amazing.” .. “The map can be active, malleable, open source fed, and even, in a sense, intelligent and able to adapt. The possibility also exists for this map to have a function that based on key words will search databases on-line to find maps, animations, histories and stories etc. to place within it for your study and engagement. The map is thus a platform and yet is active. Community is possible as people can communicate graphically in works placed on the map and in building mode in the tool. All the tropes of locative media are to be in a mapping system of channels of augmentation and a spatial net.”
