Spinvision.tv - Geo-Based Video Art Project

Spinvision is the newest project from David Troy who also brought us Twittervision and Flickrvision. Spinvision presents you with a nice image of the globe which changes to light or dark depending on the time of day in that part of the world. To register just enter you username, email address and most importantly, your location. The location is essential as it allows Spinvision to do what it does best—take YouTube videos and categorize them by location so that you can get an idea of what is going on in the world through the map and YouTube videos. Think of it as YouTube but with the added bonus that you can see on the globe exactly where the video is coming from.

“Spinvision.TV is an experimental video art project by David Troy. Spinvision.TV follows our other successful data visualizations Twittervision and Flickrvision, and is designed to give a glimpse of what's actually happening around the world.”

Being able to track the location of a given YouTube feature is quite interesting and people might choose to use this interface instead of the YouTube one.

Do they have plans on tailoring the material even more? Right now, this is basically YouTube with the added feature of being able to see where the video is coming from so it would be cool if they tried to add some original content to differentiate themselves.
