Geo-Stories goes live

One of last year’s BBC Innovation Labs projects has just gone live.

Geo-Stories, developed at the London Innovation Lab in March 2006, is a collaboration between the BBC, Nokia (who donated the handsets) and tech firm Ymogen.

Ymogen began working with students from the University of Brighton in December 2006  to explore how content could be combined with location and time data to create stories on GPS-enabled devices. Stories include an urban conservation project where Londoners meet up in specific locations to revamp a communal space, and another that measures how the mobile is interrupting the flow of our lives.
