Audio graffiti is a 4 dimensional, distributed, context sensitive media server and colour-based location and artefact tagger.
This system allows the storage and retrieval of media clips by
the user based on loaction and time of day. A user wandering through
a space runs a client program which uses a camera to grab images
of the space. Images are encoded in a colour profile and sent
to a remote location database. The best match (or no match) is
retrieved for this colour profile and a url is returned to the
client. The client program then connects to the URL (the media
server) and downloads the file or files associated with this location
and time of day (i.e. lighting conditions).
The client program can also switch modes so the user can add to the files associated with this location. A image is grabbed and an audio clip can be recorded. This is uploaded to the media server and stored. The media server returns a unique URL which is then passed along with a colour profile to the location database server.
