Running

From Medien Wiki

I want to play around with my tracking data (GPS and GPX) coming from my running app Runmeter (fig. 1). My initial idea is to visualize the tracks I run in the park nearby. By layering my tracks I try to create neat shapes and patterns with the help of processing… I'm still in the trying.

When playing the sketch in processing, I’d like to see the tracks I’ve ran with the follwing effects:

  1. My tracks pop up after pushing enter.Then they starts running.
  2. The tracks are coloured.
  3. The speed of my tracks automatically add an intense colour to the stroke of the GPX trace according to the speed I ran. Viceversa: The route faints when the speed slows down.
  4. Another track I ran will be added after pushing enter another time.
