Making a time-lapse video of wayspot's history?
Hello, wayfarer team and wayfinders.
This time I have a suggestion for you.
This is a suggestion I made to an Ingress agent a while back, and it was very well received.
And I think you'll be interested in it too.
This time, wayfarer ambassadors have also been selected and it is a good opportunity for wayfarer to move towards a better world.
" Making a time-lapse video of wayspot's history? "
It's been 10 years since Ingress launched in 2012.
The history that started with 5000 wayspot as the origin portal has now multiplied by thousands.
In the last decade, Pokémon GO, Harry Potter, and Pikmin have all launched.
And Pokémon GO is now able to submit wayspot nominations.
I think all of us here are interested in how wayspot, which are the foundation of the games we play, have grown.
We also believe that by unraveling this history, many players will once again see the value of wayspot.
We don't need the name of the wayspot in the time-lapse video.
A point of light is all that is needed.
However, it might be easier to see Origin, Ingress, Pokémon, Sponsor, and FourSquare in different colors.
There may be a little bit of missing data.
But at least you should be able to understand how the number has increased.
I don't know how the Lightship database is stored, so some of this may actually be difficult.
However, I think that the date of occurrence (deletion) of the wayspot, latitude and longitude, cluster (Origin, Ingress, Pokémon, Sponsor, Foursquare), and this much exist.
What do you think?
Can you please consider this?

I like this idea, and see it as a nice to have if resources allow.
it could be a good publicity tool to show what has been achieved.
Thanks for liking the my idea.
That would be cool, I've see some videos like that on the dataisbeautiful sub reddit. Fascinating to watch something grow over time.
We will be discussing how many minutes, resolution, global or regional, file size, etc., but I think this video will be a good suggestion for all players.
For example, by creating this, we can visualize the flow of people. And you can see how people nominated the way spots.
Also, there are many sponsors. We can also see how many sponsors we have and how much they have increased or decreased. And you can also see the value of the sponsors again.
You can also see how Ingress agents create wayspots first, and how Pokémon trainers create wayspots after Pokémon GO starts nominating.
As a result, we will have a new appreciation for the value of the games we play.
What a cool suggestion that is.
:-)
I agree with this suggestion. It's a very interesting story.
If it were possible, it would be great if users all over the world could zoom in and see how much Wayspot has grown in their area.
It would be even more exciting to be able to zoom in and out and compare Timeplus in other countries with Timeplus in your own city!
It would be very interesting - as long as it's NOT if it's granular enough that you could track someone's movements, say from home to work and back, and learn their location / timing. Yes people have tracked and harassed others by following Comm messages on Ingress. But if someone plays only one portal per commute, or only hacks - a time-lapse could paint a chilling big picture.
Are you misunderstanding something?
It's not a time lapse of capturing a portal in Ingress, is it?
It's a time-lapse of a wayspot being approved and a light spot appearing.
How can you track a light spot with no known title or nominator?
