Over the Air - Silly glasses
This session was with Dr. Paul Coulton of mobileradicals - Lancaster University. Despite the misleading title, it was not a talk about big purple sunglasses! It was about creating uniquely mobile experiences.
And it was great.
The session was really thought provoking, and ideas where whizzing through my head almost constantly.
I really encourage you to check out the mobile radicals website, and have a look at the different projects they’ve got there. There is some really interesting stuff. Experiments with RF Tags, Accelerometers, etc. There is so much scope outside of what we’ve got on mobile today.

I really enjoyed this lecture, it was about making mobile “toys”, reseaching new technologies and using them to create fun applications which break away from normal “serious” development methods/mindsets and are soley for enjoyment and “larking about”.
It really hit a note with me about the fact that people don’t always want games with levels and lives, they like to have “toys”, with no other purpose than to have fun … much like the flash game “line-rider”, you load it up, draw a line and the little guy sleds along it … its just FUN! There doesn’t always need to be a grand purpose or goal.
… and I would like to contest that 3D-Glasses are not silly … They’re Awesome!
