Update: Jan 20, 2012 My appologies for not updating this site lately. Flipboard has been keeping me a little busy. I'll try to work something out here soon, but in the meantime, you might want to say hello on Twitter, browse through a few photos here or peek into what it is like designing Flipboard.

habitat perspectives

The idea behind Habitat Perspectives is visualizing spatio-temporaly the places we inhabit. You will be able to follow the participants live, posting imagery to this application from the road through gps enabled mobile media. The target is to conceptualise how the perception of the city differs from participant to participant depending on their everyday habits. Though in a beginning only a black background will predominate in the application, as participants post more and more content, a map of the city, and the map of each of the participants "places" will slowly start emerging.
