More Add-Ons for NASA's World Wind Digital Globe Continue to Hit the Streets: Rampart Lion Imagery; GPS2WorldWind; PhotoGlobe

The already massive list of add-ons for the NASA/open source 3D digital globe continues to grow.

1) Rampart Lion Imagery

The digital imagery in this add-on, consisting of ~32 000 individual ortho-photos, was collected by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) during Project Rampant Lion I (June-August, 2006). The project was a cooperative research program conducted by NRL and the US Geological Survey, and primarily funded by the Government of Afghanistan with some additional support from the Office of Naval Research and other US Government agencies (see the attached preprint article describing the project, sensors, and data acquisition).

2) PhotoGlobe provides an installable Add-On, which indicates the photo positions offered at the PhotoGlobe Web site by flags displayed on the WorldWind surface.

3) GPS2WorldWind
Features include:
+ Create and display tracks, routes and waypoints
+ Transfer waypoints, routes and tracks from/to your Garmin GPS device (USB and RS232/serial)
+ Import Tracks, Waypoints and Routes from GPX, PCX5, OziExplorer or Google Map (KML)
+ Online GPS shows current position and direction in WW (NMEA over RS232 and also with all Garmin devices)
and more.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
