Revision as of 23:29, 28 July 2007
This page is about making the hexayurts information rich at several levels.
The basic strategy is to use a variety of media and formats to make information about the hexayurts and about survival and recovery available to affected people.
I. Print useful text on the panels.
II. When possible and desirable, print the panels with embedded RFID tags.
III. Arrangement of hexayurts into patterns readable from a distance or from an aerial view.
Issues arising from this strategy
I.
- In what language or dialect to you print the panel text?
- Should there be standing "books" waiting in warehouses, ready for shipment? If so, what is the most useful text to put on the most generic panel?
- First aid. Hygiene.
II.
- Expense is a major issue for RFIDs.
- Security is even more important. RFIDs are hackable, and they can be used as a platform for spreading viruses or malware to other systems and databases (citation needed). Could pirates exploit this by using the info on the RFIDs for ill purposes? Yes.
III.
- Think Semacode (link) or Kaywa's QR Code (link). Not human-eye readable, but from a distance ketai cams can discern massive amounts of information by the configuration of black and white pixels. What could physical camp configs tell relief workers?
- Think "eye in the sky". If other communication channels fail, the arrangement of yurts in the camp could communicate information to aerial cams as 2-D barcodes.
