LBS 2008 Symposium
And while we’re at it: call for papers is also out for the 5th International Symposium on LBS & TeleCartography (LBS 2008), held in Salzburg, Austria in November. Excellent event with a growing community around it. This year the Symposium is extending: held at a one-year interval instead of the two-year intervals of the previous […]

Peter just pointed me to the announcement site for the First International Workshop on Trends in Pervasive and Ubiquitous Geotechnology and Geoinformation. Peter’s on the program commitee himself and, officially, I strongly support this event and encourage everyone with a research interest in mobile geoinformation systems and location based services to submit and/or attend. Secretly, […]

Geek Cred
Wow. When I read my newsfeeds on the subway home today I was MORE than surprised to find my name on the W3C Planet Mobile Web feed. Ric Ferraro blogs about Point to Discover, one of my former research projects! Can it be true that I’m – slowly but surely – achieving some real-world geek […]

It’s done. This week I handed in the first (yet unofficial, but complete) version of my thesis entitled “Mobilizing the Geospatial Web: A Framework for Spatially Aware Mobile Web Applications”, in which I take a somewhat different (geeky, but different) perspective on the future of LBS, neogeo and everything. Ten Chapters with lots of pictures […]

LBS2007
And one more thing: the program for the LBS2007 Symposium is out. A close look on the schedule for Thursday afternoon will reveal… my name! Yep, I’ll present final test results from the P2D project. I’m really looking forward to this event for more than one reason: first, I presented at the previous LBS and […]

Reporting Back
Feels like ages since I wrote my last blog post… The times were quite busy lately as I have FINALLY started to dedicate all my efforts into finishing my thesis. Basically, the thesis takes all the work I’ve done over the last four years, putting it into a more general perspective and deriving a set […]

And Another Project Done…
Once again a post on my own account: Had a really nice closing event for the Creative Histories project yesterday with an interested audience and well-behaved demo hard- and software. On the photo you can see me, showing off the coolness of our orientation-sensor-driven 3D graphics UI to the press while my colleague & friend […]

MobZombies
Just stumbled across this project: Mobzombies – a terrifyingly mobile game. The project uses accelerometer and compass hardware to control an arcade-style game on a Sony UMPC. It will be featured on Where Fair of this year’s Where 2.0 conference. Another fun – geekish, but fun – example of blurring the boundary between virtual and […]

P2D Website Update
Just a quick note on my own account: We’ve totally updated our Website for the Point to Discover project, another one of the projects I’m currently working on. Deals with location, mobile 2.0, GPS and sensors in mobile phones. Hey – why not check it out?
