Poetics and place

I’ve been reading about a really interesting project to create a context aware interactive experience on the island of San Servolo. Continue reading →

HypeDyn, App Furnace and the Tudor Child

***Updated*** When I added a photo via my mobile device, I seem to have deleted half the post before publishing, so the headline won’t have made much sense. I’ve rewritten the second half of the post now. Apologies. This morning I got my head around HypeDyn by working through the three tutorials they provide. Continue reading →

Resonance

I’ve been reading about a pilot study done by (it seems) Hewlett Packard and Bristol University. For three weeks around Easter 2004 people could book out a iPaq (remember those?) and a pair of headphones, and walk around Queen Square in Bristol, listening to a location-based audio drama (or “mediascape“).

Last week’s seminar now online

The seminar I gave last week was streamed to the University of York. The software that does this also records it, so now the department have put it online and its available for anyone to watch. Watching it myself, for the first time, this morning I’m pleasantly surprised - not too many ums or urhs, and it seems to actually make sense. Continue reading →

Childish enthusiasm and Sculptural Hypertext

I gave my first seminar yesterday, talking about how I come to begin the PhD. It seemed to go pretty well, and was recorded for posterity, so when it appears online, I’ll post a link to it. But before the seminar I spoke at a workshop examining Digital Narratives, and was impressed and excited by all the other speakers. One in particular got my childish enthusiasm all fired up though.

#CAAUK and Fragmented Narrative

I’m posting this from Day Two of the CAAUK conference. I think there may be more of relevance to my studies today, though yesterday was by no means disappointing. There were many thought provoking points made, and I got to meet more of my fellow Southampton students than I’ve met so far while actually at University. I also heard yesterday that my seminar in Thursday might be streamed to York University’s Cultural Heritage students. Argh! Scary. Continue reading →

Southampton Tudor House (and more RTI)

I can’t read for a PhD in digital technology and cultural heritage interpretation at Southampton and not visit the recently reopened Tudor House Museum, which touts some of the very latest interpretation technology. So with my daughter on an inset day from school, I thought this would be the ideal opportunity for an educational visit. We parked at the West Quay shopping centre, and skipped across the road to Bugle Street (what a great name). Continue reading →
