The research project was remote viewing. He basically asked people to figure out where he is by looking at five random photos he took form his computer of which are in a collection of photos he took at random places. It is to to see if remote viewing is really possible.

It was more to try research through twitter for the first time ever than to test the phenomenon of remote viewing. Everybody worth speaking of knows there's no such thing as remote viewing, except the US Government that hoped it could be used for spying. To get the best info about it, hear Richard Wiseman talk about it himself in The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe Episode #204 (link below). The interview with him starts at 31:20 and ends at 1:00:30.
