The BBC is running an interesting article on a British Royal College of Art student Gail Knight who has developed a GPS enabled traveling companion which vibrates a ring based device to notify the traveler of potential danger or points of interest. It is a great concept by which I draw great parallels with what we are doing at Indaran. Travel and the services which will evolve over the coming 18 to 24 months excites me greatly. Being able to harness technologies such as GPS to provide the user a richer experience be it travel or other is extremely interesting.
Similarly an old colleague of mine Alex Craxton who is now over at Ymogen have started working with the BBC on slightly different but still very interesting project linking BBC information with actual physical locations. They utilise GPS coordinates and BBC URL's to provide markup to physical world locations.
