Maps named with the suffix -vision
March 12, 2008 – 5:21 pmMaps named with the suffix -vision (if that’s any kind of definition) are a subset of map mashups that became fashionable in 2007, after David Troy launched Twittervision. We’ve created several of those lately. Two of them, UkPropertyVision and Casaszoom for a customer, Nestoria, a vertical search engine for the real estate world.
Describing UkPropertyVision Techcrunch says it’s like “property porn”. Well, there’s some kind of hypnotic effect in those mapvisions: Ajaxian effects moving and changing the info bubbles constantly on the maps, no action required on the part of the user (although in these two examples, the properties to be shown can be narrowed to certain areas and features).
In Spain, besides the Casaszoom example featured in this screenshot below, we also created Betisvision , a social tool for a football (soccer) club that celebrated recently its 100th aniversary.
