Theme 1: Meaningful context for both humans and computers TPM01

A longstanding and difficult challenge for pervasive computing lies in creating ‘context-aware’ applications that can adapt to their context of use, for example to their user’s location, schedule, activity, mood, and to the presence of others.

Theme 3: Curating the Landscape – Museum, City, Country, Community TPM03

The use of location-based technologies to create ‘mediascapes’ in which digital media are attached to physical landscapes has the potential to transform our experience of the everyday world in domains as diverse as tourism, education and games.

Towards Pervasive Media is a social network

 

TOWARDS PERVASIVE MEDIA - about

Towards Pervasive Media (TPM) - Establishing collaborations between the arts, humanities, science and engineering at Nottingham on the topic of Pervasive Media

Background
‘Towards Pervasive Media’ is a new initiative to foster collaborations between the Arts, Humanities, Science and Engineering at Nottingham. The broad topic of Pervasive Media, refers to new media forms in which the public contributes as well as consumes content, is available anytime and anywhere, and is ever more deeply interwoven into our daily lives.

Pervasive media first emerged as a focus for new cross-disciplinary research at Nottingham from a series of informal discussions. With the aid of a pump-priming grant awarded by the University in 2006, this lead to the Pervasive Media Group being established. This research network has since grown to include academics from many disciplines. The group has now secured £200K of pump-priming funding from EPSRC, under the Cross-Disciplinary Feasibility Account programme.
