GecoPod: Hybrid paper/electronic field census tool |
Census personnel tap on images or bird banding codes. Underlying ANOTO
pattern identifies tapping location. The location is transmitted to
EcoPod, where the count is registered. Tapping can also position EcoPod
on a particular species for detailed analysis.

ANOTO patterned interface allows fast, familiar bird identification
process. Bluetooth connection communicates with electronic field guide
for tallying, detailed character lookup, and additional images. |

PDA based EcoPod solicits character states (attribute/value pairs),
and identifies observed species. The tool can be used with a stylus or
operated remotely from a GigaPrint interface. |
