HistoryPlot Presentation at AAHC April 19, 2009
I’ve been quietly experimenting with place-based computing since last summer, and had the opportunity earlier this month to present my pitch for a mobile history web service/application called HistoryPlot. While I’m not entirely sure on the trajectory of the project overall (which I aptly refer to as an experiment), I’m exploring different options to get it off the ground and overall learning a TON. Interested in participating and collaborating? Let me know.
For updates on my progress, follow HistoryPlot on Twitter. Below are the slides I presented at the American Association for History & Computing Conference, with audio recorded this afternoon to supplement the slides.
