Location-Based Tracking Trials at Great Student Run

Today (10. May 2008, 10:30am)the Carnegie Great Student Run takes place at the Headingley Campus of Leeds Met. We have developed a simple tracking application which runs on mobile phones and allows that the position of runners (who carry their phones during the run) is automatically sent to our web server.

We have only a few participants, and we are using this to test the feasibility of a few approaches that can be empoyed in this technology field.

Check out our tracking site and monitor live the progress of a small set of runners!

Ben Dalton's MScape project shortlisted by b.tween!

Our Ben Dalton has been selected to be among the finalists for developing a pitch for his project Our Music, Our City. The competition has been organised by just-b Productions and HPLabs, where ideas have been sought for developing an "Exploding Narrative" using the location-based framework MScape. This is a software development framework which runs on Windows Mobile phones with GPS. The MScape software allows to develop location-based applications in a very easy way, linking events to actions. These actions can be playing media which are stored on the mobile device.

Congratulation, Ben!
