2 Motivation Geo-Immersion sounds good, doesn t it? But Can it be real, practical, useful? Proof of Concept Implementation of Geo-Immersion (Intelligent Campus as a Use Case) Geospatial Social Networking Portal for the USC Community icampus.usc Project

3 Prototyping Issues Is icampus.usc yet another web application? What do we want to achieve? Strategy (Why intelligent campus?) Target users, resources, services Capability (What to do?) Infrastructure, tech features, info processing Value (What for?) Useful for internal and external participants?

4 icampus Strategy (Why campus?) Target users, resources, services Capability (What to do?) Infrastructure, tech features, info processing Value (What for?) Useful for internal and external participants?

5 Strategy Big Applications Limited Interaction (feedbacks, data collection) Service Providers (Producers) General Public (Consumers) Good: Massive Services for Common Needs Reliable, Good Quality Information Not Good: Slow in New Service Development Hard to Satisfy Individual Needs

6 Strategy Small Applications Little Interaction Too personal, individual General Public (Producers) General Public (Consumers) Good: Fast and Easy in New Service Development Easy to Satisfy Individual Needs Not Good: Mainly for Small Problems, Less Reliable Limited Data Management/Quality

7 Strategy icampus.usc Lots Lots of Interaction of participation (feedbacks, (even create data & collection) manage!) USC Community (Producers) icampus AND, we know ourselves very well! (land/map, data, people,interests) USC Community (Consumers) Young Enthusiastic Students! Good: Flexible Service for Common and Individual Needs Reliable, Very Good Quality Information for Community Fast and Customized Service Development Not Good: Limited Usage for Community Members

8 Strategy - Uniqueness 1. Datasets and Users Public (e.g., YouTube, Tweets) and USC (e.g., class schedules, events) data Participatory data by USC users: pictures, videos, texts, locations IMSC datasets around USC: traffic data, CCTV videos, sensors, 3D models Social behaviors of USC users: locations, meetings, friend connections 2. Geo-, Time-, Person-tagged Data! Where, When, Who, What! 3. Testbed for research/service, showcase for industry products 4. If successful, can be alternative portal for USC community Integration!

9 Strategy - Uniqueness So what does it mean? of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from

10 icampus Strategy (Why campus?) Target users, resources, services Capability (What to do?) Infrastructure, tech features, info processing Value (What for?) Useful for internal and external participants?

11 Capability - User Interface Geo-social web-portal for USC community with 3D campus map User Selected/Generated Applications Google Earth Overlay Objects Personalization & Social Network Connection Mobile & Desktop Interfaces Spatial Temporal Query Interface (Public, Private, Participatory Data)

12 icampus Capability - First Implementation

13 Capability - Current Implementation Intuitive Spatio-Temporal Query Interface Realistic 3D GUI 3D models by Prof. Ulrich Neumann 3D Object Recognition: Dr. Bingcai Zhang s presentation Open App Development (User Generated Apps) Data Management and Integration (Public and USC data) Data Collection Sensor Network: Dr. Bhaskar Krishnamachari s presentation Participatory Sensing: Dr. Burcin Becerik-Gerber s presentation Personalized Services with Social Network (Facebook) Flexible to be Creative!

14 Capability Open Architecture Open System for USC Community (Service, R&D) Applications Provided/Owned by Community Members Presentation Layer Application Layer Open API Provided by IMSC for the people by the people of the people Data Access Layer DB IMSC owned Databases Open API Provided by IMSC

15 icampus Strategy (Why campus?) Target users, resources, services Capability (What to do?) Infrastructure, tech features, info processing Value (What for?) Useful for internal and external participants?

16 Values For IMSC Prove the vision of Geo-Immersion concept Testbed for our own research activities For USC Community Personalized services Testbed for research/educational activities Potential new generation of web portal For Outside of USC Testbed for new concepts/products/services Share our knowledge, research collaboration

17 icampus Status Industry partners: Google, Navteq USC faculty projects for Fall 10 Sensor network (Electrical Eng.) occupancy sensors for vehicle in parking and people in building Building ambience data and energy consumption (Civil Eng.) data collection and visualization Customized Trojan alerts (Geography) location-based customized alert system for USC 3D Modeling of USC Campus (Computer Science) constructing 3D models of campus buildings with correct texture

18 icampus Next Steps More data collection All data objects (texts, images, videos) will be tagged Release Open API Encourage participation in research and education Geo-social applications User study to evaluate geo-social concept Personalized and customized services Everyday tools within USC community If successful, can be transferred to other campuses and small cities

19 icampus Potential Collaboration Realtime data streaming/query/integration Database, performance Participatory sensing/privacy Various contexts Mobile geo-social technologies/applications Social Network on the Move Testbed for new techniques and concepts Services, applications, devices, etc. Any suggestion, partnership, sponsorship are welcome!
