Walkingtools para Android
O projeto Walkingtools possui agora uma versão para Android – acesse o repositório sourceforge svn e comece a utilizar as novas ferramentas de localização e inserção de mídias georeferenciadas. Mais informações podem ser encontradas no svn, e aqui. Também vale dizer que o primeiro app na Google Play store está quase pronto!
Notas para desenvolvedoresSVN no sourceforge: http://walkingtoolsgpx.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/walkingtoolsgpx/[nome do projeto - veja abaixo]
Em 10 de abril de 2012, o repositório no sourceforge foi completamente refeito com o objetivo de remover arquivos que não tinham funcionalidade. Pedimos desculpas por isso e você vai ter que dar uma olhada nos arquivos novamente.
Iniciado em agosto de 2011 (atualmente março de 2012), muitas das APIs do walkingtools e outros códigos do projeto sofreram uma transição do NetBeans IDE para o software Eclipse IDE, que será agora utilizado como referência para os desenvolvedores do walkingtools. A razão dessa migração se deve ao fato de que o Google Android e os plug-ins do App Engine são basicamente associados ao Eclipse IDE, sendo que ambas são as novas plataformas escolhidas pela equipe do walkingtools para rodar seus projetos. Infelizmente o Eclipse oferece cada vez menos funcionalidades do já decadente JavaME através do mais decadente ainda projeto Eclipse MJT. Contudo, por motivos práticos, o “legado” contém o pacote JavaME (com todas bibliotecas com j2me) e terá continuidade no suporte através do excelente NetBeans IDE. A partir de agora e em projetos futuros, utilizaremos Eclipse e centraremos tudo no Google.
IDEs e repositórios:
As APIs de referência JavaMe do walkingtools no pacote wtj2me continuam em NetBeans. Se você estiver interessado, o projeto tbdemo – apresentado em várias exposições nacionais e internacionais – depende do wtj2me, dessa forma, dê uma olhada em ambos projetos. O pacote wtj2me também continua o mais funcional para a interface de bússula no JavaME e é completamente livre e aberto. Todas as APIs e as bibliotecas “legado” podem ser acessadas como projetos NetBeans através do sourceforge via subversion no seguinte endereço:
https://walkingtoolsgpx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/walkingtoolsgpx/[tbdemo|wtj2me|tbtool]
Segue lista dos projetos exportados para o Eclipse IDE:
Por “depende de” nós queremos dizer que o projeto wtandroid, por exemplo, necessita do wtgpx no seu build path quando você setar o seu projeto (não importa em qual editor, mas provavelmente no Eclipse).
Veja o conteúdo aqui:https://walkingtoolsgpx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/walkingtoolsgpx/[wtandroid|wtgpx|wtserver]
Essas são as ferramentas, plug-ins etc. que você precisa para acompanhar todas as variações do projeto Walkingtools J2SE e do J2EE/App Engine utilizando o IDE Eclipse.
Eclipse EE version (melhor opção)…
um plug-in subversive (svn)
O plug-in do Google app engine etc. para o wtserver
O SDK do Android, ADT e Google Android Plug-in para o Eclipse dá suporte para o wtandroid
mais algumas boas notícias: Sim, nós temos intenção de rodar algo no Second Life/OpenSim em relação ao projeto digichotomy no repositório. Algum dia….

Walkingtools project workshop at Centro Multimedia (Centro Nacional de Las Artes)Between Jun 20th to 24th the Centro Multimedia hosted an walkingtools workshop for artists and residents in Mexico. The experience with the software allowed artists to produce their own content and also develop some artistical experiences. One of the places that we visit to develop the project was the site of Teotihuacan. The images of the seminar are here:

ISEA2011 WORKSHOP
Walkingtools Concepts: Locative Media Art
Workshop Leader: Prof. Cicero Inacio da Silva
2nd Leader: Brett Stalbaum
Spatialized location is not new – it is a fundamental aspect of human wayfinding cognition. From ancient and early historical practices such as song lines, Polynesian maritime navigation and religious pilgrimage routes that link one shrine to the next holy site, networks of nodes and scattered cues assisting navigation seem to be beyond culture. Researchers in the field of human cognition would generally agree: although it is a coarse statement in light of the finer granularity of knowledge of human spatial cognition, our species is fundamentally a navigator of networks of spatial nodes, or cognitive maps. Maybe for the first time in the history of knowledge, in the beginning of the hypertext era (what we can also call the Internet) the idea of having multiple points of information that could share many parts of the same text, image or video provided, came into use as tools to organize all human content in terms of information. The hypertext is a means of questioning the idea of the total point of view, i.e. it is impossible to find or know the complete version of some fact, artifact, or experience. In this sense, when we transport this idea to the world through geospatial hypertext, we invite others to share a highly subjective point of view with us, through open means of sharing knowledge about our geographical location or place of residence to invent a new subjective relation between the space and the information. The Walkingtools and the HiperGps Projects (2009, Silva and Stalbaum) are aimed at providing desktop production tools that enable creative people to produce mediated routes for others to play back or follow using their own mobile phones. It allows creators to produce searchable and easily sharable walks. In the history of locative media, early innovators such as Teri Rueb (1999) invented their own systems that enabled them to create mediated walking experiences. Geo-annotative projects such as Handheld Histories as Hyper-Monuments (2007) by Carmin Karasic, Rolf van Gelder and Rob Coshow furthermore allowed users to add their own thoughts and interpretations to an artist-designed, hot spot triggered, mediated geospace. Open source platforms for the production and sharing of such mediated walks have yet to emerge. HiperGps addresses the production tool of such hybrid, peripatetic media. In conceptual terms, this type of media is actually very simple. Imagine a device that can guide you through the world by pointing you in the right direction. In fact, these Global Positioning System devices are now rather ubiquitous and well understood for the purposes of automotive navigation. Now imagine that that media (audio, for example,) can be triggered at points along the way (waypoints). And then imagine that the prerogative to create this kind of triggered content was egalitarian in nature, that everyone with a computer and Internet connection can produce and share such content, and that others can find this content using only their internet connected mobile phones.
Bio of the Presenters

Currently he is on the Faculty of the Arts Institute and Graduate studies in Communication department at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF), Brazil. He was a visiting scholar at Brown University (2005) and a visiting researcher at University of California, San Diego (UCSD) from 2006 to 2010. He is author of the book The Explorers: Open Source and Free Software in Brazil (with Jane de Almeida, forthcoming from the MIT Press). Cicero was Digital Art curator for the Brazilian Forum of Digital Culture, Digital Communities honorary mention at the Prix Ars Electronica in 2010.
Brett Stalbaum (UC, San Diego) is coordinator of the ICAM major at the Visual Arts Department. A serial collaborator, he was a founding member of the information theory/art corporation C5 in 1997, and the Electronic Disturbance Theater in 1998. With EDT he co-developed electronic civil disobedience software called FloodNet, which has been used on behalf of the Zapatista movement against the websites of the Presidents of Mexico and the United States, as well as the Pentagon. Stalbaum has been part of many other individual and collaborative projects including http://www.paintersflat.net/ and is recognized for his work in location aware media. Current collaborative projects include http://www.walkingtools.net/ which provides an umbrella for XML, APIs, Applications and Projects for and by walking artists, and with the CALIT2 B.A.N.G. Lab/EDT where he is the primary software developer for the Transborder Immigrant Tool project.
Walkingtools acquires C5 Landscape Database APIs
The walkingtools.net project has acquired the C5 Landscape Database APIs utilized in the seminal The Other Path project (2001-2004) from the code archives of the now hibernating and possibly defunct art and theory company. The C5LSDB – among other features – encodes GIS landscape data (digital elevation model files and more) into a relational database model that allows topography to be retrieved and searched in novel ways. One of its major applications is enabling the API’s artificial intelligence “virtual hikers”, algorithms that pre-walk the data landscape producing GPS tracklogs that can be used to follow the virtual hikers through the real world. (For examples of work using these APIs, see www.paintersflat.net.)
This code will be folded into the walkingtoolsgpx reference APIs, and released under the GNU AGPL license. (See the walkingtools.net APIs page for more information.) Our goal over the next year or so is to unite the data representation classes (by creating interfaces and wrappers) in order to make these two technically unrelated but in some ways similar APIs fully interoperable. The walkingtools reference APIs contain powerful API level tools for facilitating location based services, web services, narrative practices, and experimental locative media projects. The C5LSDB brings GIS dataset access and analysis and artificial intelligence walking algorithms into the walkingtools reference APIs. The first naive import of the C5LSDB packages can be found in revision 50, with updated versions and new work to follow soon. (http://walkingtoolsgpx.sourceforge.net)
Walkingtools.net looks forward to an intense year of emerging new edge art practices at the intersection of computation and the arts. The acquisition of the C5LSDB APIs both recognizes C5′s early locative media innovations, their influence on the paintersflat.net and walkingtools.net projects, and seeks to carry the same spirit of innovation forward.
