If you find standard video viewing too static, Seero is here to help change your perspective. The web site enables users to combine video broadcasts with GPS or other location specific information, so you can see the exact points on a map that the segment is filmed in. It is especially cool to track the complete path of an actor if he or she is being filmed while walking or driving. It is popular with travelers or tour guides, citizen journalists, or anyone else for which location plays an important role. The site also provides links to relevant local information: from print news to weather to video stories.
“Seero.com is a geo-broadcasting platform for users to broadcast and experience destinations around the world. Seero fuses live and on-demand video with GPS mapping to create a rich and unique user experience. Our goal is to shake the foundations of how you see video with a platform that promotes exploration and geographical awareness.”
Seero looks particularly useful for tour guides and backpackers or travelers. I can see both groups filming long segments and tracking their exact route on a map. Location specific information also is a boon for advertisers.
Why are things archived only according to location? Obviously that is the central theme of the site, but it would be useful to have a tool to search videos according to topic (“rainforest tours”) or individuals.
