Project_gratitude
Jane Oh, Chris Kairalla, and I are developing a location-based system documenting and displaying emotional response and stimulus. The project is multi-faceted, involving a cell-phone application, wearable input and display, screen-based display, and server-side locating software. Currently, we are focusing on one emotion—gratitude, as determined by facial flush response, or temperature changes in the face. Location will be determined by cell-tower ID and signal strength, as gleaned by the mobile app and server-side logic. We are developing the client app in Series60 Python, implementing the Location api. The tower info will be correlated to both user-inputed geo-data and the FCC supplied database (link). Data will be transfered to the cell-phone via bluetooth, and uploaded to the server. Subjects will also be encouraged to take relevant pictures, and hopefully video for the screen-based informatics display.

This project is really interesting Alex.
Alex - isn't it already possible to get some series 60 python code to grab geocode by triangulation?
Is there a script that grabs the data somehow?
How do the flickr geocoders do it????
