    Gadget: Motorola Droid

    Posted on March 24, 2010 by R. Richard Hobbs

     
    It is pretty easy to see how any location scout, location manager or any other production person could really benefit from any mobile access to email, internet, maps, GPS, 5MP digital camera and HD camcorder, so that is why, a little while back when I was due for an upgrade (read: “discounted prices”) from my mobile carrier, Verizon Wireless I acquired a Droid smartphone. The Verizon Droid is a Motorola A855.
     
    Other than the fact that the onboard GPS eats considerable battery power when it is activated, (…solution is to leave it off when not in use) I am overall pleased with the Droid so far; it is a big step up from my first smartphone, the Blackberry Pearl. The Droid’s Android 2 OS allows for use of lots of Google Mobile Services and Android being a popular and robust operating system, many applications, (many free) are actively being developed and are available at a few touches of the finger in The Android Market.
     
    In addition to Gmail and Google Maps, here are a few other handy apps I have found in Android Market and use:
     

  • Location Scout (Jeff Gilfelt)
  • 3D Level (Igor Fisher)
  • Weather Bug
  • DroidLight LED Flashlight (Motorola)
  • Skype Lite
  • Facebook
  • Seesmic for Twitter
  • NYC Bus & Subway Maps (episode6)

    VR Panorama Created From Flip HD Video

    Posted on March 13, 2010 by R. Richard Hobbs

     
    VR panorama of Castle Point Ruins made from an image sequence from my Flip UltraHD. The tripod used was only semi-nodal and the Flip’s exposure isn’t really controllable so a fully immersive, 360 / 180 HDRi VR wasnt really in the cards. But I’m pretty happy starting out :) …and shooting with a Flip LOL!

    Hacking The Flip UltraHD Mini DV

    Posted on November 12, 2009 by R. Richard Hobbs

     
    The Flip UltraHD by Pure Digital (recently acquired by Cisco Systems) is really an innovation. With its palm-size physical dimensions (4.25″ x 2.19″ x 1.17″ (H x W x D), 1280 x 720 resolution, 16:9 HD aspect ratio, 8gb memory / 2 hours recording time, dead-simple file management / video editing software included in the camera and price tag under $200 US, one can hardly go wrong for creating personal videos or video location scouting. (1280 x 720 x 72dpi jpg still images of passable quality for most location scouting needs can be saved from video as well.)

    There are, however, a few features that seem lacking in the UltraHD out-of-the-box, foremost for me as follows:

    A GPS / Flickr Experiment: Beaver-Pond-Campground-HSPNY-09162009

    Posted on September 17, 2009 by R. Richard Hobbs

     
    I have owned GPS equipment for some time for work as a film / photo location scout – however, it is only recently I have been really interested in “playing around” with the technology. I use photography extensively in my work so I am especially interested in geotagging photos and creating presentations that contain both visual and geospatial information.
