I didn’t have a camera the night of the event, and the iPhone was useless. Thankfully @imunderpressure did a bit of documentation of the event.

Since I don’t know how to embed a version of the video with the HD controls, watch it in HD on YouTube.

Simian Mobile Disco – Cruel Intentions (Greg Wilson re-edit)

The earlier incarnation of this approach was posted on Limitless Pulse here.

Watching this full screen and in HD is highly recommended.

This post was originally created for CScout’s Mobile Trendpool. I’ve cross posted it here as I’d think you’d find the technology and talk interesting.

At the recent TED conference, Blaise Aguera y Arcas demoed the mapping application platform that’s been integrated into Microsoft’s Bing Maps. Data from the apps associated through the (currently internal) API allows users to overlay location-based content such as geotagged Twitter tweets, photographs, or blog posts.

The Streetside app stretches crowdsourced Flickr images onto maps giving fresh, or even historical, higher quality views of given locations, while at the same time affording users a new way to explore the huge cache of geotagged photos on Flickr. Streetside doesn’t stop at static images though; at the TED talk, Arcas demoed the inclusion of video in the Bing map view. As Arcas panned the map around, viewers saw live video precisely overlayed on his view of the Pike Street Market.

The way in which images—still or moving—are included hint at the three-dimensional awareness the maps have. This technology stems from the incorporation of Seadragon and PhotoSynth technologies, of which Arcas is the creator.

Currently the the Streetside app is available in Seattle, San Francisco and Vancouver. In order to have your images included in the app, they must be geotagged and labeled with a sharing-enabled Creative Commons license.

Watch the TED Talk below:

A couple items found through the Boards of Canada Flickr Group.

The description of the video on the Google Video page says that it’s Creative Commons licensed for any use, but I couldn’t find a download link on the video’s page. A tiny bit of searching led me to the Universoulightforms site where a nearly 1GB file of the video is available for download.

It’s tempting to just queue up the video at the party and let it loop. I think though that it’ll be more source material that I’ll mix into what I’ve got and what I’m continuing to find.
