The goal of the GPS mapping here is to show how life of three people is intertwined over common paths, the GPS mapping shows prominent nodes of the city and some important paths common to all. The paths create some enclosed regions making very interesting divisions of the city. The 1st person is denoted by red, 2nd by green and 3rd by red. The concentration of the colors at certain spots is denoting the places where there was more time spent by the individual.

GPS tracking can be a great medium to extract information which can be used to make observations in various fields, it can be very handy to derive stats and data.

The grasshopper definition has an input of a .gpx file which is then converted to coordinated, these coordinates are then remapped on to an imported goggle map. The representation of each GPS tracked point is in the form of a extruded circles.

1974 trackingpoint tracked in 3 days of living in Barcelona. The columns in orange shows different kind of speed during the transport through the city. The speed is vizualized in the height of the extruded columns.
I have used Trails to track myself. I have exported my tracking as GPX.

A few years ago, was released a device able to measure human emotions. They were red directly from human brain. The challenge was to be able to visualize and geolocate the emotional data, for mapping the cities, extracting the information directly from the citizens mind, without the necessity of using analytic algorithms to process SMS or instant text messages, form Social Networks. S.I.S.T.E.M.A is the name of an Artificial Urban Intelligence, who is able to monitor the emotional state of all the citizens connected to its network. In this way we could notice how the people actually sense the city, and obtain priceless information for mapping the space, which could be useful for: EMOTIONAL EVALUATION of city areas, NEUROMAKETING, for predicting the feelings that URBAN DESIGN would produce in the inhabitants , and for establishing criteria to place and set ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS and ACTIVITIES in the city streets.

[[[ I uploaded this material from my Thesis to show that I already have the skills that allow me to understand how data can be geolocated, in order to map a city according to different inforamtion sources.  This material at the same time  fullfill all the requierements of the assigned task. // Self- Stalking // Data visualization //GPS tracking ]]]
