<p>just dumping some brainstorm notes</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>( Just a place where [[User:Tmitchell|I'm]] storing some notes for a future presentation. )<br /> ------<br /> Two components in this talk:<br /> <br /> ==Arduino platform==<br /> * Basic microprocessor platform<br /> * Various input/outputs<br /> * Lightweight programming<br /> * Set up with common HID protocols for cross platform operating system support, if desired<br /> * Interfacing with server side Python for restructuring output<br /> <br /> ===Sensors===<br /> A few of the sensors we used in our experiments:<br /> * GPS (Garmin eTrex venture)<br /> * digital compass module<br /> * accelerometers (wii nunchuk)<br /> <br /> <br /> ==OSGeo Software==<br /> Depending on needs there are various methods for communicating sensor info back to desktop software. Here are some experiments we made with a few packages.<br /> <br /> ===QGIS / GRASS===<br /> * Massimo...<br /> <br /> ===OSSIMPlanet===<br /> * XML stream is used to control camera<br /> * GPS locates the camera, basic programming allows 'circling' camera at position<br /> * Digital compass - allowed panning 'left/right'<br /> * accelerometers allowed 2 axis panning<br /> <br /> ==Challenges/Barriers==<br /> * Spherical computations<br /> <br /> ==Next Steps==<br /> * Fusion of sensors<br /> * Find a protocol to use - augmented reality markup?<br /> * Build an aircraft or a head mounted display system</div>
