The Mobile
Bristol Centre was a
programme investigating how mobile devices and pervasive information
technology can be used to enhance the ways in which residents and visitors
experience and interact with their physical environment and with each
other in urban and public spaces.
Imagine a digital landscape overlaying the physical world. As we walk
around this landscape, we can tap into the digital sounds, sights and
interactions that are positioned in the landscape and activated by our
presence and actions.
The digital landscape is formed from a dynamic and overlapping set of
mediascapes which are context-sensitive combinations of digital media
and interactions created and deployed by various authors.
The project has created a toolkit, which provides a digital canvas over
the physical landscape onto which digital experiences can be painted
and new commercial opportunities can be explored.
As people walk through the physical environment, a diverse range of
digital media experiences augment the ambiance and bring these spaces
alive.
The project had three main threads. Each thread informs, drives and
enables the others.
