Beyond Mobile: Design in Action Chiasma
Design in Action invites academics and cultural heritage organisations interested in engaging with industry to take part in a workshop to share and apply expertise and knowledge by collaborating on the development of potentially economically viable ideas, taking research beyond the academy into new interdisciplinary contexts for maximum impact. There is the opportunity to acquire up to £20K funding to prototype ideas as near-to-market solutions.
The Beyond Mobile residential workshop will explore emerging technologies, their intersections, and how they might be applied in cultural heritage and tourism, marketing, logistics and serious games. Themes include smart cyber-physical systems physically augment reality, digital interpretation in cultural heritage and tourism applications, and the challenges associated with the convergence of media in shaping coherent brand narratives.
