Sony GPS CS1



Sony GPS CS1 is a simple location tracking module. It helps to match a photo with place where the photo is taken at.

I can browse tracks where I travelled on Google Earth or Cyworld map service as well.
It's fun! You can make a content for a real SPIME. But besides of accuracy problem, there are some problem with this.

It can provide information about a place.. But it can't provide heading direction (Direction of point view). And if it is possible altitude information will be useful as well.

And still GPS information such as "N37,32,54/E126,54,56.8" is not familiar with me. It should be "Near Hapjeung rotary heading west".

I think, this gadget's main feature - logging gps data when taking photos - can be useful for travel service that are using google map api(i.e. expedia and tripadvisor)

Mobile Flirting (Part2)

Image
One day I spend my time with my new MacBook at Starbucks. Actually there is another people who use Macbook at the Starbucks located in Jungja-dong, Bundang, Korea. I just tried to search Bluetooth device nearby and found a girl's name who is seating behind me probably. I could know her name and her digital address. If I want to send a note, it is possible. You know, you can't do that through your mobile network. It can make a connection with any one in the world but it is useless to send a message to a girl overthere. A young saudi man actually use this Bluetooth flirting method to be connected with a girl. In kingdom of Saudi Arabia, there is cultural barrier between boys and girls. Even a religious police can arrest a guy who violate the rule of local culture. (I hope it is a joke) But it is about a human nature. A young man is designed to fall in love with a glance from a girl. Isn't it romantic or pathetic? Of course, you can just walk to the girl and ask to go out toge...

Usability Ethic

Yes, I believe we need ethic. Ethic for usability is a core value. But with same knowlege about usability, you can do horrible anti-usability or less-horrible but still dirty job for your big boss. It is tempting when you know what people do in a typical way, you can predict and may utilize it for making more money. But if you exploit and don't share benefit with user as usability expert, you are in hell of usability. Some stupid design is actually designed for more making money. Actually it is stupid because it is short sighted for short term revenue. You can make a report how much money you could make a money from better design or you can make a report how much money you made from stupid annoying design. Why I'm sure about it? Why I'm sure usability-abuse will be ultimate failure for your business? Because user is smart enough. You have to have love for user. That's 1st principle. Example. At front page of Yahoo.com, if you click an interesting news article, you will...
