geography

This week I'll be participating in a panel at the American Studies Association annual convention that will address digital scholarship, pedagogy, and publication ... and I'd love your input. Comment on my blog or take a quick survey to add your insights to our discussion on Friday, Oct 17.

 

A group of geographers have posted a reader on technoscience, called "Locating Technoscience".

From their 'cover':

Peter Bajcsy talked about important trends in the Humanities in the Context of Decision Processes... Questions like “is sampling an appropriate appraisal tool?” were core to his presentation.

From here, you can link to YouTube demos of some of the projects I worked on last semester in my Human Computer Interaction and Ubiquitious Computing classes last semester at UNCC.

My project team-mate spinning a Google Earth and YouTube mash-up on a NextWindow Human Touch large wall-mounted display.

Living in Spatial Reality
The GIS and mapping panel provided a small overview of spatial technologies. The panelists hoped for a visually-defined landscape of the web, something that we’ve been mostly living without until recently, attempting to adapt our minds to the concept of virtual spaces and containers where our “stuff” (and some ways the world as a whole) is: friends, files, photos, and more. This angle of investigation is similar to work revolving around interface.
