Situational GEOINT Awareness for the Average Consumer
Added by USGIF Category: Daily Intelligence Brief, General

It was only a matter of time when GEOINT technologies would permeate our daily lives. While the use of GPS and technologies like Four Square are used everyday by many, there is a new movement where complete situational GEOINT awareness is provided by Smart Phones. This past weekend, the NY Times did a story about Smart Phone applications that allow the average user to gain a deep understanding of the world around them. Want to know the artist responsible for the print hanging in that restaurant? The name of the building with the enormous gargoyles? The last selling price of that house up ahead? Just point your Smart Phone in that direction and you will have that situational data at your finger tips. All we can say is very cool. GEOINT continues to take over and will continue to make our lives better. Welcome all thoughts and feedback.
