Virtual Moment for Google Maps & Google Earth by Michel Faas
In a couple of years almost everybody will have a mobile phone with internet, GPS and a high quality camera.

Those 3 embedded “phone” functions are a powerful combination and will result in a boost of “geotagging”.

Ow..and not to forget t he expected implementation of GPS as standard feature in digital cameras.

When everybody uploads their images and videos we´ll get a database full of media over the years.

But when everybody does this, the maps will become a mess and more a pain than a benefit.
Now (21-9-2008) Somewhere in 2015 Past, Present and Future Virtual Moment for Google Maps & Google Earth by Michel Faas Intro > Concept explanation > Visual example > Textual examples > Commercial implementation > Contact

Just using a location will be far from enough. My plan is, except using a location, to use a very important factor too:
the Time Factor .
The Time Factor Virtual Moment for Google Maps & Google Earth by Michel Faas Intro > Concept explanation > Visual example > Textual examples > Commercial implementation > Contact

So now comes my idea! Virtual Moment for Google Maps & Google Earth by Michel Faas Intro > Concept explanation > Visual example > Textual examples > Commercial implementation > Contact

My friends asked me to join on the yearly outdoor festival ´Mystery Land´ with almost 60.000 visitors. This festival takes place in the area you see below. I’m going to look for some information about previous editions.

1. So first I’m going to Google Maps and zoom into the area to find photos and videos. 2. In the next step I’m going to make an exect selection of the area where I’m looking for photos, videos and…perhaps more… ..by drawing a square… ..or by drawing a shape. Virtual Moment for Google Maps & Google Earth by Michel Faas Intro > Concept explanation > Visual example > Textual examples > Commercial implementation > Contact

Then we fill in the date fields. The example above will show us the photos and movies created on august 23th, 2008 from 3:30PM till 4:00 PM.

And this will be the synoptical result when the Time Factor is applicable. (instead of hundreds of results without Virtual Moment)

As another example we can also select the area, fill in the year and as a tag we fill in “Mystery Land”. Now only the pictures with the tag “Mystery Land” made in 2008 will be shown. And that will be a lot!

But, there are more possibilities …! Virtual Moment for Google Maps & Google Earth by Michel Faas Intro > Concept explanation > Visual example > Textual examples > Commercial implementation > Contact

Textual examples Virtual Moment for Google Maps & Google Earth by Michel Faas More and more news websites mark their news on Google Maps. This in combination with the Time Factor makes Virtual Moment even more valuable. And the same is valid for the weather. By storing the weather conditions in a specific area at every hour, statistics can easily be made. In the future everybody can see how the world is changing. Virtual Moment will become a unique user interface. Intro > Concept explanation > Visual example > Textual examples > Commercial implementation > Contact

Imagine the result if you select a couple of years and realize that the festival Mystery Land was at different locations every year. We only have to select the Events button and search for “Mystery Land”.

Commercial implementation Virtual Moment for Google Maps & Google Earth by Michel Faas We can add Google Ads based on the tags of the photo or video, or… Intro > Concept explanation > Visual example > Textual examples > Commercial implementation > Contact

So… Virtual Moment for Google Maps & Google Earth by Michel Faas Intro > Concept explanation > Visual example > Textual examples > Commercial implementation > Contact

The history will be visual.
Looking back in the past will be very detailed.
Searching for pictures and videos will be very easy and quick.
One access point to all news sources.
And many, many more…
