Recent Updates
New Construction Floor Plans
These should be added to the maps:
Floor Four Construction
Floor 3 Nook Deletion
Floor 3 Systems Reduction
New site & API
Souvey put up a new site based on his new IndoorMap API here: http://wvhmaps.souvey.com/
It's now up on our own VM at http://maps.ccs.neu.edu/
Read the documentation of the IndoorMap API.
Mobile Proof of Concept
I threw together a proof of concept of a mobile app for Android
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4568596/maps/android_v1.apk
It basically wraps the JavaScript version with some simple platform integration (native zoom buttons and native search)
Prototype

Goals
- Get Floorplans on Map
- Source floorplans – CAD diagrams?
- Source placemarkers and put them onto the map
- From spreadsheet?
- Or perhaps other solutions
Future
- Extend to other buildings
- Other programmatic placemarker features
Links
Google IO Map Source - Source code and resources for the Google I/O 2009 Interactive Conference Map
They provide a quick how-to: http://code.google.com/p/googleio2009-map/wiki/HowTo
Inspiration
Ideas
- Integration with Lab Metrics - Heat Map of use, current computer usage, ect.
- Track faculty - Olin Tracker 3000.
- Images of rooms - Use a kinect to make 360 views of each room, I think SIPB had a similar project but with regular photos.
- Room information - Does it have a projector? Computer? Number of chairs?
- Search - Obviously.
