GSPS: GumSpots™ Positioning System - Location Positioning Via Sidewalk Pattern Recognition
GSPS is a pattern recognition technology which can be used for a variety of location aware services.



Our demonstration of GSPS lets you enter and view hidden data on city sidewalks. A user would take a photograph of the GumSpots with a cellphone and submit it to the GSPS service. The GSPS service would then determine the location and orientation of the image and return the image with extra hidden data displayed on the image. In this case the hidden data will be text as well as 'connect the dot' drawings. A user also has the ability to add hidden text by submitting a note with their image.
