How Geolocation Technology is Changing the World

Presented by @momentfeed @SMWLA @ThinkLA @USCAnnenberg @af83inc

This highly engaging event will explore where geolocation technologies are taking us, both literally and figuratively, as a society. What types of technologies exist today and how will they evolve? What does it mean on a practical as well as theoretical level? How will they improve our lives? What are the potential downsides, and how will we address them?

EVENT IS FREE but RSVP is required: RSVP http://bit.ly/9CcsD3

The USC Annenberg Innovation Lab (@USCAnnenberg) will present iCampus.USC, a working prototype of its geo-immersive computing paradigm. Professors Jonathan Taplin, and Cyrus Shahabi of the USC-Annenberg Innovation Lab will present iCampus.USC, a first-of-its-kind immersive geospatial social networking portal for the USC community. This includes a 3D high-quality rendering of USC campus and its neighborhood.

Featuring:
Professors: Robert Suro, Jonathan Taplin, Cyrus Shahabi

A panel of distinguished experts will discuss how smartphones, location-aware applications, and geolocation technologies are impacting society, politics, commerce, government, media, and business. We’ll look at where things stand today and what we can expect as the technologies evolve.
