National Geographic Provides Metalens over Windsor, Colorado showing Tornado Damaged Areas  E-mail
Written by glenn   
29 May 2008
I was interested to notice today in "the paper" that NGS has developed a Metalens app for windsor Colorado that enables users to tour the recently damaged town in Norther Colorado.

From National Geo... National Geographic Maps provides these applications as a tool to visualize the effects of this tragic event and the powerful forces of nature. It is hoped that this will help viewers to experience the community restoration in progress without having to add traffic to the community.

I have to admit that I was touring the area myself and likely adding to the traffic problem last Sunday, although I was staying clear of the neighborhoods that were directly affected because indeed, traffic was becoming a problem. I was also thinking while touring the area that I would have liked to have conducted a small photo mapping experiment myself using my Nokia N95 8GB and the Nokia Research Labs application, Sports Tracker - very suitable for such an application. Indeed such an application could be used by onlookers to have a glimpse while also staying out of the way of emergency responders. While the MetaLens does indeed show how geotagged photos can be used in such a case, I'm still a big advocate that any small town, a consultant, or ?? with a small budget can quickly and easily photomap a small area and publish results on the web (with a map interface) using Sports Tracker - feel free to ping me to ask how. See the National Geographic Windsor Metalens at http://www.metalens.org/ngmapspro/products/
