The IPCity project invites for 25 international students to join us
for the 2009 summer school where they will be given the opportunity
to work alongside experts in the field of urban mixed realities. The
summer school will bring together students from a range of
backgrounds including: architecture, urban planning, computer games
design and information technology with the aim of creating an
atmosphere similar to those found in leading research labs.
The first day of the summer school will introduce students to the
IPCity project, in particular the core theories, key concepts and
underlying technologies. During the following three days students
will participate in workshop groups which will focus on novel
application areas including: urban life and social gathering,
environmental awareness, urban renewal scenarios, mixed-reality
gaming and community story-telling in urban environments.
Workshop supervisors will work together with the students to
familiarize them with the methods, the technology and the focus of
the workshop. Together and with the help of the provided building
blocks they will create their own content for existing mixed reality
systems, conduct tests and field trials, and on the last day present
their groups' work to the other workshop participants!
