2
Augmented Reality Mobile Application Visualizing USGS Biological Species Occurrences Using Layar Platform and API Twitter Based Citizen Science Observation Platform Web Data Visualization Using Curated Twitter Submissions and Twitter Data Mining/Stream API
3
Augmented Reality Project Goals 2012 Deliverables Create geodatabase of species occurrence locations; Expose point locations through a webservice API; Register point service through Layar platform; Load and view species locations in mobile viewer on Android and iPhone platforms Make species occurrence layer available through a robust mobile augmented reality platform Cost $1750
4
Augmented reality (AR) on mobile devices provide a live view (usually from the mobile phone rear facing camera) enhanced with rendered graphics such as points or lines that correspond to real physical space. Augmented Reality - Concept
5
USGS CSAS Data Resource - BISON BISON open data API REST Query Repurpose for Mobile Mobile augmented reality view of BISON species occurrence data. Biodiversity Information Serving Our Nation (BISON)
6
BISON Data – Mobile Augmented Reality View BISON - Database Layar Endpoint – PHP Page Mobile Browser REST Query Layar Format
7
BISON Data – Mobile Augmented Reality View AR – Real Time Overlay 2D Map View Live View Display Species points “floating icons” Detail information on click Google Map Display Traditional map view See all points within 5km
8
Moving Forward CDI Mobile Working Group Higher Level Interest – “How Do I Get This On My iPhone” Terms of Service - Review Approval of Third Party App – Layar Additional Data Resources – eg. NPS, USFWS, USGS
9
Web Data Visualization Using Curated Twitter Submissions and Twitter Data Mining/Stream API
10
Twitter Mobile Observation Project Goals 2012 Deliverables Establish unique Twitter account to accept incoming direct messages; Develop submission protocol; Develop scripts to mine Twitter stream API; Visualization elements – mapping, tabular output. Web based visualization of citizen volunteered information utilizing Twitter client and API (stream and data mining) Cost $2,500
11
USGS has some experience in developing Twitter based applications for earthquake monitoring (Twitter Earthquake Detector) Twitter Based Citizen Science Observation Platform
12
Tweets (@speciesobs) – Stream API MongoDB – Observations Web Map Twitter Based Citizen Science Observation Platform BISON Species Observations SMS, Email, Voice
13
Twitter Based Citizen Science Observation Platform Aug24 Cricket Crawl Event Hundreds of participants 2500 Observations Tweets, Email, SMS, Voice Sam Droege – USGS John Pickering – Discover Life
14
Twitter Based Citizen Science Observation Platform Standard Form 8 Species 1minute Tweet/e-mail/SMS/Call Twitter Client gMail/gVoice
15
Twitter Based Citizen Science Observation Platform Twitter Species Observation – tweet observation, recorded sound, image, location. Once reviewed and vetted, observation appears (usually within minutes) on a web available map.
16
Twitter Based Citizen Science Observation Platform 500+ participants, students, scientists, citizen naturalists. 2500+ observations.
