  • Mapodwalk Caster
    A USER ENVIRONMENT FOR SYNDICATING AND AGGREGATING MAP-INTEGRATED AUDIO TOURS: MAPODWALK CASTER Ken’ichi Tsuruoka [email protected] Masatoshi Arikawa [email protected] Center for Spatial Information Science The University of Tokyo Kashiwanoha-5-1-5, Kashiwa City, Chiba, Japan Abstract In this paper, we focus on providing users new environment for syndicating and aggregating audio tours with animated maps over the Internet. Geotagged photos nowadays are getting popular as one of the spatial content on the Internet in the revolution of Where 2.0. However, this single media of photo often has some difficulty to represent users’ sequential stories and their context. On the other hand, audio streams are able to contain sequential stories and their context effectively. But users have difficulty on syndicating place-related audio streams compared with geotagged photos because there is no user-friendly environment for sharing audio streams with geotags. We have implemented maPodWalk Caster to solve the problems of syndicating and aggregating geotagged audio tours. The platform provides a place-related aggregation by storing geotagged audio stream and new experiments on place-related audio stream sharing opportunities for geospatial communication. 1. Introduction There are web-based broadcasting content called Podcast. It allows people to create and distribute various kinds of audio content for their interest such as ones for introducing a person’s interest. The large number of free Podcast is increasing on the Internet for commercial and non-commercial purposes. Some Podcast is made for guiding and telling stories about the real world. This kind of Podcast is often called PodWalk.
