This article from IBM developerWorks, describes how to "Meld buildings' directories and maps of their interiors to create ad-hoc maps of people, meeting spaces, and other assets", using Perl, ImageMagick and The Gimp. As usual there is a "Rate this page" form at the end of the article.

This is the kind of stuff you could make money with as a freelancer...... I immediately thought about a real-time system using Tk, where everyone's position is shown in realtime (maybe by RFID units on their id-badges.) Just like "24". :-) I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum	[reply]
