Bio Maps
Published Tuesday, February 21, 2006 by CCAer.  

Bio Maps is another step of taking the world as people see it and experience it and placing those thoughts and feelings on to a map. The bio-mapping tool allows the user to record their emotional arousal by way of measuring their galvanic skin response in tandem with tracking their location. What results is a very personalized emotional map of a geographic setting.

If you are hoping for a tidy map using hypsometric tints to indicate emotional response, think again. This is a very subjective marking up of the neighbourhood (e.g. “The Dreaded Crossing,” “I want to go window shopping,” or “Didn’t realize the hosptial was so big.”) supplemented with hotlinks to photographs. A fine example of this off the cuff, community type mapping is the Greenwich Emotion Map. The site provides a kmz viewable in Google Earth.
