The Space and Culture Blog- worth a visit!

If you are interested in the theme of this blog, "The World is an Interactive Interface", you probably will appreciate the  Space and Culture   journal/weblog. Below are links to a few posts:

    Large Scale Networked Pervasive Public Displays- PD-NET (cross-post)

    I love the concept of interactive, networked public displays!   The PD-NET project has a fairly new website and a Facebook page.  If this interests you, take the time to learn about the PD-NET project, a collaborative effort between researchers from several different universities in Europe. I'd like to see this take hold in the US.  (Cross-posted on the Interactive Multimedia Technology blog.)

    PD-NET Project Objectives (From the PD-NET Website):
    • To create enabling technologies for large-scale pervasive display networks through the design, development, and evaluation of a robust, scalable, distributed and open platform for interconnecting displays and their sensors.
    • To establish Europe as the international centre for work on pervasive display networks.
    • To address key scientific challenges that may inhibit the widespread adoption of pervasive display network technology:  Tensions between privacy and personalization, situated displays, business and legislative requirements, User Interaction.
    Here is a list of participating universities and researchers, taken from the PD-NET website:

    Lancaster University, (UK)
    Participants from Lancaster:
    University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany)

    Participants from Duisburg-Essen:

    University of Lugano (Italy)

    Participants from Lugano:

    University of Minho (Portugal)

    Participants from Minho:

    COMMENT

    If you are familiar with this blog, you know that I am passionate about interactive displays, especially in public spaces.  I've devoted numerous posts to this topic on this blog, and also on  The World Is My Interactive Interface, a blog I started a few years ago when I was working on projects for large interactive displays.  

    I am interested in how interactive displays, of any size, can be accessible and universally designed, especially those that can inter-operate with mobile devices, including devices that support communication for people with special needs.
