We have made a short documentary on our collaboration with Rescue Global, a disaster response charity from London, thanks to the support by filmmaker Raj. The film shows the process of us researchers from the EPSRC-funded ORCHID project doing ethnographic fieldwork, and developing technologies to support Rescue Global’s planning work. The result is the Augmented Bird Table (ABT), a technology that facilitates digitisation of hand-drawn annotations on paper maps, and projections of geo-location data onto paper maps.
We are grateful to EPSRC, ORCHID, Rescue Global, and Raw for supporting this research.
