GeoTag application allows users to place GEO aware TAGs (aka TAG items) – in a form of basic types of information: text, images, audio and video (with possibility to extend to other types). The TAGs may be either private or public. With the aid of this application, users can generate GEO aware content which can be then privately or publically viewed.The presented application is a prototype and thus several options remained unimplemented and unaddressed. The prototype however shows main functionality (even if the implementation was not to a full extent).

The GeoMata Android client displays web content (audio, video, html) either on a map or in list form, sorted by proximity to your current location taking advantage of an open REST service.The primary interface of the client is simply a list of all the available blips (geo -> website pairings) sorted by proximity. Clicking on one of them launches the web browser and displays the web resource associated with that blip. The web resource can be either a web page, audio file, or video. The list interface will display an icon letting you know exactly what type of resource is available.Anyone can add new data to the system by either visiting the website or directly from GeoMata itself running on a GPS aware device. Not all devices have suitable interfaces for data entry (imagine typing in a long URL). To simplify the submission process for such devices, you can bookmark your current location, associate it with a short descriptive name, and the blip will be automatically associated with your user account on the GeoMata website.

Geocast enables users to see files posted by others based on location and proximity. The review system currently consists of Geocast project members looking at any data that goes up on the server. Currently it is possible to view text,image and url files, video and audio will be added soon. Geocast v. 05/01/08 needs android m5-rc15 in order to function properly.
