The
video demonstration is a tool to explain, and somehow show,
the way a user will be able to navigate through Coffee Search
System results, after importing them into Google™Earth application.
The sequence
shows at first a view over the Big Sight Convention Center
in Tokyo to give the audience a point of reference, the place
where they are standing. The flight moves around the
world to visit Guatemala, where our quality coffee grows.
After slowly landing through mountains and volcanoes,
it gets closer to the valley of Antigua, indicating with
a red line the geographic delineation of the Antigua Coffee
region.
Zooming into the valley, a coffee estate,
San Sebastián, is shown. As it works in Google™Earth,
it displays a pop-up window with related information on the
farm and characteristics of the coffee it produces; a link
to the farm's website is provided to get more information.
The viewpoint starts to turn until Agua Volcano is reached
by the "camera"; then, it moves straight to reach a small
farm, Las Cruces. Information is shown on this farm
along with a picture of "Don Marcos", the coffee producer.
An email address, provided free of charge, gives the producer
the possibility of getting in touch with a potential buyer.
In the end, a bird's eye view of the whole country helps
remembering the place where "the best coffee in the world"
is produced, Guatemala.
