Q

What's the fuzz about ? I don't get it.

A

This site is just a supportive part of the project. The main experience could be had in front of a big high resolution projection in an Amsterdam exhibition on cartography. This is where the participants (with a minimum of background information) could be seen moving about live, in real time.

Q

So why is that cool ? I can save my GPS-data using a Garmin/any GPS handset and run it through Photoshop...

A

Because the mobile device we constructed sent its data to our server using a GPRS Internet connection, so all the visualisations were done live.
