Inspired Newsletter
The new ‘Inspired’ from Futurelab has interesting material in as always. Here’s just some of the ones for ICT:
· X48 game camp Participants were asked to work to a brief that enabled them to showcase games that might move beyond traditional puzzle and shoot-em-up formats and open up new and interesting 'conversations'.
· Postgraduate courses in Computer games technology research at The University of Abertay Dundee.
· Using augmented reality technologies to help a latter-day Macbeth enabling him to negotiate the corridors of his castle while seeing and interacting with computer-generated images projected on top.
· Alternative/Improved(?) web searching using Kosmix.
· There's a succinct account of the recent BSF conference held in London on Futurelab's blog, Flux.
There’s loads of other stuff as well, for many different areas.
