Bird.i is a start up company enabling end users to access up-to-date mapping imagery. Basically, like what google maps does but that features satellite images that are current.
How can this data be used? Why would you want to access this data?
Bird.i held an event at The Lighthouse inviting creative thinkers to come along and brainstorm in order to generate ideas that answer these questions. It was a great night spent brainstorming, discussing and presenting ideas; from finding people to finding potholes! From finding out about events in the area to mapping out your travels.
It’s great attending events like this to re-engage with primary idea generation methods, as well as meeting up with people of similar interests.
Bird.i sounds like it has a great future, current imagery is so important following our reliance on mapping softwares. After all, there is nothing worse than looking up your destination and when you get there it looks completely different and is therefore hard to find, or you find out that it does not exist anymore!
