CSC is
launching their Location Object Field Tracking (LOFT) technology, designed for military and defense applications, at the Amgen Tour of California this week. According to an
article in
Washington Technology CSC Chief Technologist Dan Munyan says, "LOFT delivers a four-dimension, contextual, Web 2.0 interface through combining the bird’s eye view perspective of GPS with associated historical attributes and the context of real-time information on location, motion and status." The LOFT Tracker for the bike tour shows a
map-based, real time route track of the participants. The CSC website is employing a Google Maps interface while the Amgen Tour of California website is showing the race using a
Yahoo!Maps interface. Hmm.
