Generated By Eye is a home for experimentation at the intersection of maps, data, and the web.<\/p>\n

\n

This site is a living studio for geospatial web applications and tools\u2014where ideas are explored, prototypes are launched, and playful projects take shape. It\u2019s a space to share what\u2019s possible when maps become interactive, data becomes navigable, and development stays lightweight, flexible, and accessible.<\/p>\n

Projects like Open Stream View<\/strong>, Sky Lantern<\/strong>, and Couch vs Sofa<\/strong> showcase creative uses of modern geospatial technologies\u2014from Leaflet maps and spatial databases to imagery management and cost\u2011effective, rapid\u2011access tooling. Each application is an exploration: sometimes practical, sometimes whimsical, always grounded in real-world geography and thoughtful design.<\/p>\n

Generated By Eye is both a platform and a playground. A place to test ideas, build openly, and share experiments that blend creativity with technical craft. Whether mapping movement, visualizing language, or sending messages into the wind, the work here is driven by curiosity and a belief that maps can tell more human stories.<\/p>\n

Open Stream View<\/h3>\t\t\t

Open Stream View is an open, web\u2011based platform that helps people understand and share how streams and watersheds are changing over time.<\/p>\n

\n

Using simple uploads of geotagged drone photos<\/strong>, Open Stream View automatically maps where images were captured, how drones flew along a stream, and what areas each photo covers. This allows anyone \u2014 from local volunteers to conservation groups \u2014 to see stream conditions in their proper spatial context without needing advanced technical skills.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, drone imagery is difficult to work with. Photos often remain scattered across hard drives, disconnected from maps, or locked behind expensive software that requires technical expertise. Open Stream View removes these barriers by bringing everything together in one accessible interface that works directly in a web browser.<\/p>\n

With Open Stream View, users can:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • View drone imagery directly on an interactive map<\/li>\n
  • Understand stream conditions through clear flight lines and image viewpoints<\/li>\n
  • Compare repeat surveys to observe erosion, vegetation change, or restoration progress<\/li>\n
  • Share data openly with others who care about streams and watersheds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    By lowering the technical and financial barriers to working with drone data, Open Stream View empowers a wider community to participate in stream monitoring. The platform supports collaboration and long\u2011term learning across Ontario and around the world<\/strong>, helping build a shared visual record of watershed health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>

    Sky Lantern<\/h3>\t\t\t

    Sky Lantern is a shared digital ritual\u2014an ancient gesture reimagined for a connected world.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Inspired by the tradition of releasing sky lanterns into the night, Sky Lantern invites people to send their thoughts, wishes, and messages into the atmosphere of our planet. Each lantern becomes a living point on a world map, drifting across the globe in real time, carried by real wind patterns.<\/p>\n

    When you launch a lantern, you attach a note\u2014words of peace, hope, happiness, or quiet reflection\u2014and release it to the sky. From there, it travels freely, passing over cities, neighborhoods, and homes. As it moves, others can discover it when it crosses their part of the world, reading a message sent on the wind by someone they may never meet, yet are deeply connected to.<\/p>\n

    Sky Lantern is about presence and connection. It is a reminder that we share the same air, the same winds, the same Earth. Messages float without borders, ownership, or expectation\u2014only the simple hope that somewhere, someone will see them and feel less alone.<\/p>\n

    Across distances and differences, Sky Lantern lets us whisper into the sky and listen for one another.<\/p>\n

    We are all connected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>

    Sky Lantern Launcher<\/h3>\t\t\t

    This is where your message takes flight.<\/p>\n

    \n

    To launch a Sky Lantern, simply write a note\u2014something you wish to share with the world. It can be a thought, a hope, a reminder, or a message of peace meant for no one and everyone at once.<\/p>\n

    When you click Launch<\/strong>, your lantern is created at your approximate location and released into the digital sky. From there, it begins its journey across the globe, drifting freely with real global wind patterns. As it travels, it may pass over distant countries, oceans, cities, or someone\u2019s hometown\u2014quietly carrying your words along the way.<\/p>\n

    Your lantern moves continuously, visible on the world map as it follows the same atmospheric forces that connect us all. Along its path, others may encounter it, reading your message as it passes through their corner of the Earth\u2014just as you may discover messages from strangers when their lanterns cross yours.<\/p>\n

    Launching a Sky Lantern is an act of letting go. A small gesture of connection, sent into shared air, rooted in the belief that we are all part of the same world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>
