Advanced Location Tracking with Locomatix

The good folks at Locomatix just released their iPhone app My Aura :

The app shows a lot of promise. It even does UM Magic Bus Tracking! It’s definitely way ahead in terms of advanced features like real time alerts and location and time based privacy settings. Great work guys!

Thanks for the mention Arnab! I’ve been browsing around your site a bit, looks like you’re up to tons of interesting stuff!

This looks pretty cool! Can’t run it on my iPod Touch though; looks like it depends on iPhone’s GPS.

As far as I can tell, it’s by Professor Jignesh Patel and V. Prasad Chakka of this university. It’s probably an implementation of STRIPES (he said without reading the paper).

P.S. Why do they get link love but not MBusReloaded?

Wow, note to self, read above comments before posting. Clearly, there are other people involved as well, and I might be totally wrong. =)

@scott: Yup, this is Jignesh’s company, and is based partly on his work done at UofM , and there are other UofM alumnus involved as well.
