>> Olympics apps
 
Two Socionical apps have been developed and will be used during the Olympics. The City of London Police app will be used by visitors during the two busiest days of the Olympics. Its main application however, will be to provide information to the businesses and residents in the Square Mile (the financial district), with a special feature that will be activated if and when there is an incident, so that the Police can send geographically targeted advice to users. The ‘What’s On’ app will be used throughout the Olympics and Paralympics within the City of Westminster.
 
The apps are available free from the Apple App Store at: City Police and Westminster
 
>> A book based on the work of Socionical, edited by Prof. E. Mitleton-Kelly, will be published by Springer in early 2013

Visualisation of the Lord Mayor's Show procession on 12 November 2011, using data from the  Socionical app (S-app).
