8. Why are we teaching geospatial tech?
Geospatial awareness is a core skill in many environment sector job
descriptions. Students need to be aware of geospatial tech and need to
know what it’s potential is.
Geospatial tech is a key tool of the public and private sectors for locating
and capturing asset data. Most asset management systems are now
digital so it makes sense to capture data digitally.

9. So what does this tell us?
Location is necessary but it is not sufficient
Smartphone's are booming, GPS is seen as a standard bit of kit on phones, but
they carry a host of other sensors.
Making use of the sensor web in teaching and learning has huge potential
10. CMOS light sensor
OK, it is commonly called a camera but the sensor is capable of much more
than just taking pictures:
Image recognition (face, labels,
buildings)
Distance ranging
Change Detection
Improve Positional Accuracy
The interesting things happen
when the CMOS sensor
integrates with other sensors.
e.g. get a rough fix with the
GPS, then use the CMOS to
improve this through image
matching and then track your
position with the gyroscope and
accelerometer.
11. CMOS – Indoor Navigation
Image recognition is another way that indoor navigation / locating can be
achieved.
Images might be barcodes, QR codes or even image triggers.
Junaio have created an app
that allows users to build
their own custom apps for
navigating indoor spaces

12. Augmented Reality
AR relies on:
• Cameras and Displays
• GPS, Positional, and Locative Technologies
• Image Recognition

Caching

13. AR – Enhance Fieldtrips
Enhance field course learning by revealing details that cannot be seen.
Eh, this is obviously not on a
mobile but you get the idea
and it is something we would
like to offer.
Images of front pages here……
We have the data, but would
it be useful?
14. AR – Pedestrian Navigation
Navigation can work better when you use landmarks.
“come out the station steps and follow the pavement round to the left onto the
North bridge. Keep straight ahead till the Blockbuster, turn right, go down one
block, turn left, straight ahead, passing the 1930’s Art Deco wine shop and just
before the BP garage on your right, the pub is on the left”
You can navigate from Waverly to The Old Bell

15. AR - Pico Projectors
AR needn’t be a 1to1 activity.
Pico Projectors are starting to
appear that would allow the AR
experience to be shared
between a small group.

16. So what’s stopping us?
There are a number of issues that need to be thought about before the
potential of this technology can be fully realised for teaching and learning.
Off-line caching Authentication
Licences Devices
Speed Usability

23. JISC
“But, for more researchers to make full and effective use of the
potential of sites, services and tools like this, the geospatial skills gap
needs to be bridged. JISC is planning work to help do just that.”
Matthew Dovey - programme director for the digital infrastructure at JISC
