Geo-locate your video streams and photos using LiveCLIQ

March 31st, 2009

Hi!

Another very cool feature that LiveCLIQ has developed is around geo-locating your streams and photos. Your phone has GPS inside, the cell site to which your phone connects has a location identifier and the location of the Wi-Fi hotspot to which you connect is available. We take all the location information to which we have access and use it to place your video streams and photos on the map. From your Library once you choose a video or photo you can see where it was taken on by clicking on the Map & Pin icon to expose the map. You can then either drag the pin or enter the address of the precise location.

When I captured the stream at the Point Reyes Light House there was no 3G connection with which to synch so I uploaded the video when I returned to San Francisco and the stream was geo-tagged at my apartment.

Video stream from Point Reyes synched from my apartment

I corrected the location of the stream by entering the ‘Point Reyes Light House’ in to the address bar and, viola, the location of the stream is now placed at the crazy, windy tip of Point Reyes!

Checkout my stream of how this works in the player below.

More coming soon!

Eric Schmidt discusses mobile user media with Charlie Rose

March 6th, 2009

Eric Schmidt joined Charlie Rose on March 6, 2008 and discussed the implications of a world in which everyone is streaming from their mobile phones! Watch the whole video or fast forward to 7:30 where the this discussion begins. We could not have said it better ourselves!

www.charlierose.com/view/interview/10131

Charlie Rose:
YouTube has been fueled by user generated. People did it with their cameras. How much of a phenomenon is that going to be in the future of the internet?

Eric Schmidt:
We think it will be one of the most defining aspects of the internet. Because if you think about it, everybody has phones and every phone has a still camera, and every one of those phones is going to have a movie camera pretty soon. And indeed if you think about it, a lot of the news that you see you’ll see some phone camera video of low quality. Well, five years from now, those will be very high quality videos as the technology gets better. And the joke is that the vast majority of photographs now taken are kept in people’s phones because they can’t get them out of them.

Charlie Rose:
They can take the picture, but they don’t know what to do with it.

Eric Schmidt:
So we’re working to solve all those problems. The important thing here is that the phenomenon of user generated content of which YouTube is an example is I think the defining expression of humanity over the next 10 to 20 years. We had no idea that all these things were going on because there was no way to see them. And now if you have someone who is being taken advantage of or abused or put into an inappropriate position, what have you, they can take a picture. They can record what the police are doing in an –

Eric Schmidt:
There’s a lot of implications.

Charlie Rose:
Speak to that.

Eric Schmidt:
Well, the most interesting thing to me is that transparency is how you keep societies honest. And we’ve now because of the internet and because of the digital revolution given people — we’ve essentially given them the ability to see everything. So you can now take photographs, take videos of everything you see in your world and people discover it. And there are whole communities of people who are interested in these kinds of aspects. And they serve as a form of check and balance on the powerful, the rich, the people who might exploit others. It doesn’t necessarily mean for a different outcome, but it means that everybody can’t hide. They have to actually tell the truth. To me, that’s a great step forward.

Videos from the world to you!

February 17th, 2009

Hi LiveCLIQ!

I am really enjoying the videos from all over the world on Project Magellan. We have created a cool way to connect streams with Google Earth so that you can see what is being streamed from any location on the globe.

Since we know where a video was taken we can place its thumbnail upon the globe in that spot. Please go to www.livecliq.net/projectmagellan and download the Google Earth plugin. Then you can spin the globe to the destination of your choice and see what is happening there and view related streams. It’s great way to see the world!

We also built some really cool features that I think you will enjoy. One of my favorite is that we change the tag cloud based on the region you are zooming into. We enable you to search on user, region, topic and title. Check out my streams from the Muir Woods north of San Francisco. Crazy tall trees covered with moss. Amazing!

Many more features coming soon! Enjoy!

LiveCLIQ unveils Project Magellan - a living view of the world in motion.

February 12th, 2009

San Francisco, California, USA – February 12, 2009.

LiveCLIQ has unveiled Project Magellan, the first web service that enables people to contribute and discover live geo-tagged mobile video into a global real-time view of the events and experiences that shape our lives.

Project Magellan provides an innovative user experience that combines LiveCLIQ’s auto-tagging and geo-location capabilities with Google Earth’s plug-in accessible from any web browser. The service features a navigable 3-D view, scrollable timeline and location tag cloud with geo-located mobile video streams. As people zoom into a specific region the tag cloud changes to reflect the topics, events and videos relevant to that location.

Project Magellan automatically spins the globe and zooms to the location of an incoming live stream where the video is viewed. After watching a stream users can then use the location aware tag cloud to find and watch related streams from local contributors. LiveCLIQ also includes user filters and touring features in Project Magellan where you can trace the video journeys of friends travelling across the globe.

This exciting new service enables users to navigate and search global events and personal moments where and when they develop. Complementing image-based initiatives such as Google StreetView and Microsoft PhotoSynth, Project Magellan leverages the hundreds of millions of video enabled mobile phones to provide an organic and dynamic view of the world, everywhere in real-time.

Project Magellan is positioned to be the destination to experience the landmark events of our time. Increasingly, the most compelling news coverage is from ordinary people who are experiencing extraordinary events and are able to capture these crucial moments using their mobile phones.

LiveCLIQ’s Project Magellan is a free service for registered members and is viewable in any web browser. LiveCLIQ’s mobile clients are available for iPhone, Windows Mobile, Java, BlackBerry and Symbian mobile devices. Experience Project Magellan at www.livecliq.net/projectmagellan.
