Augmented Reality Mobile Application
Visualizing USGS Biological Species Occurrences Using Layar Platform and API
Twitter Based Citizen Science Observation Platform
Web Data Visualization Using Curated Twitter Submissions and Twitter Data Mining/Stream API
Augmented Reality Project Goals
2012 Deliverables
Create geodatabase of species occurrence locations; Expose point locations through a webservice API; Register point service through Layar platform; Load and view species locations in mobile viewer on Android and iPhone platforms Make species occurrence layer available through a robust mobile augmented reality platform Cost
$1750
Augmented reality (AR) on mobile devices provide a live view (usually from the mobile phone rear facing camera) enhanced with rendered graphics such as points or lines that correspond to real physical space.
Augmented Reality - Concept

Moving Forward
• CDI Mobile Working Group
• Higher Level Interest – “How Do I Get This On My iPhone”
• Terms of Service - Review
• Approval of Third Party App – Layar
• Additional Data Resources – eg. NPS, USFWS, USGS
Web Data Visualization Using Curated Twitter Submissions and Twitter Data Mining/Stream API
Twitter Mobile Observation Project Goals
2012 Deliverables Establish unique Twitter account to accept incoming direct messages; Develop submission protocol; Develop scripts to mine Twitter stream API; Visualization elements – mapping, tabular output.
Web based visualization of citizen volunteered information utilizing Twitter client and API (stream and data mining) Cost
$2,500
USGS has some experience in developing Twitter based applications for earthquake monitoring (Twitter Earthquake Detector)

Twitter Based Citizen Science Observation Platform
Twitter Species Observation – tweet observation, recorded sound, image, location. Once reviewed and vetted, observation appears (usually within minutes) on a web available map.
Twitter Based Citizen Science Observation Platform
500+ participants, students, scientists, citizen naturalists. 2500+ observations.
Moving Forward
