Chapter 6
The week 6 chapter and tutorial taught me about spatiotemporal data, and with that it exposed just how horrifyingly easy it is to get live access data from things like traffic/security cameras. I knew intellectually what the “Internet of Things” is but seeing the all the ways it can be put to use with just an hour or so of work is quite frankly terrifying. GIS dashboards are insanely useful for end-user data displays and they seem like a lot of fun to make stuff with.
Application Idea:
An app that tracks your real time progress along a selected route and compares it to previously recorded times like ghost racing in Mario kart.
