COST-MOVE WG4 Workshop on Analysis and Visualisation of Movement data. Theme: What can the Space-Time-Cube do for you?

For the first time, I have argued and suggested during the Space Time Cube (STC) workshop that the current use of space-time cube for visualisation should be extended to handle actual processing of spatio-temporal (raw) data such as GPS data from emerging portable small size GPS enabled devices.

I suggested that my talk is seen from three perspectives: first, to answer the question which was also the theme of the workshop - what can the STC do for me as a research; second, to ask the question, is it useful to use STC as a data processing tool?, and third, to propose that STC should be considered as one of the visual approaches to gps data processing. My presentation was title "Space time cube as a data processing tool - a visual approach to GPS data processing".

For those interested in this idea, a paper on this is forth coming...! In the meantime, any critique  is invited.
