Ubilabs

Ubilabs – Location Based Media. This phrase describes in a few words our core target – the development of applications for location based content. In practice the concepts and projects being developed by us can differ somewhat, the main focus however always remains: the user and presentation of the location based content.

Ubilabs combines a variety of different expertise in our respective fields, most notably the technical know-how to meet our clients’ high standards for the realisation of our concepts and designs. The Ubilabs Team combines various expertises, but is particularly proficient in Media Design, Media Technology and Media Management.

One can often only see the true power of photography when one realises the context of where the photo was taken. This idea became the central theme of the ‘Localizer’ (http://loc.alize.us), wherein over 4 million photographs are placed around the globe in a variety of locations and topics.

Due to the amount of photos, there is a set of intelligent filters handling the data. Do you already know a user? Just type in his or her name and you will only get his or her photos displayed. Are you searching photos of a special location anywhere on the globe? This search is as easy as searching for a special topic for photos.

Every search request within the Localizer is being directly transferred into the address bar of your browser. Therefore, you are able to save and send these links. This will enable the addressee to always see the same location and the same photos as the sender.

A very special and lovely example - photos of the Route 66 in the United States: Route 66

Imagine, you take out mobile phone and being able to almost instantly know what is happening around you. Whether you are interested the in nightlife or simply in sightseeing, you choose the time, context and your cruising radius – your mobile will just lead you there.

MobileTouring is an authoring tool for tours. You can set points of interest (POIs) online and enrich them with a photo and short text information. Out of your POI or the POI other MobileTouring users have created, you can create your very own and individual tours and download them on your mobile.

The softeware family Polaire consists of three parts:

• Polaire Map, for the presentation of content on an interactive map by using a web browser.
• Polaire Tour, for the mobile display of media content on smartphones and navigation systems.
• Polaire Tools, as a tool set for location based content e.g. for the conversion of content into formats required.

Due to this modular body of Polaire, a great variety of applications can be developed. The single parts of Polaire are put together individually and then customised to meet the business needs of our clients.

Polaire is the basis for both our projects MobileTouring and loc.alize.us.

Cycling fans around the globe taditionally spend their time in front of the TV in July, watching the peloton along their way through France. Since 2006 these pictures are enriched by an interesting application - the GPS-Tracker.

In collaboration with SRM – a cycling messurement specialist and inventure of the Powermeter – we offer an interactive online-application: http://www.ubilabs.net/tourdefrance/

Users can not only follow the drivers’ exact positions on a map but inform themselves about their pulse, performance and step frequency and acutal speed.

Our clients can be found in many different fields and markets: we support agencies in creating ideas, concepts and implementation of projects, but also work for variously sized companies by offering them the full range of our location based media expertise.
