Spatial+Googling

Lauren Matrka lmatrka@gsd.harvard.edu Stacy Morton smorton@gsd.harvard.edu Peter Zuroweste pzurowes@gsd.harvard.edu "Spatial Googling" is a concept that allows urban typologies, composed of objects, to break from their boundaries of defined space and become embedded in the urban fabric to enhance the individual search of those objects. The act of searching for specific objects has gone from a physical search through eye contact to a now virtual search through the internet using websites such as Google. In both cases, we are in constant search for the object itself. However, Spatial Googling combines the two by being able to input a search query on a smartphone, and as one maneuvers through the city, the object alerts the individual. This concept uses RFID technology and smartphone devices as a strategy for creating an ambient urban computing ecology.
