Siobhan O'Flynn's 1001 Tales http://1001tales.posterous.com tracing the roots & tendrils of storytelling today posterous.com Sun, 29 Aug 2010 05:52:43 -0700 Qualcomm & Georgia Tech join to create an augmented reality game studio - from The Inquirer http://1001tales.posterous.com/qualcomm-georgia-tech-join-to-create-an-augme http://1001tales.posterous.com/qualcomm-georgia-tech-join-to-create-an-augme

With the potential of great benefit to the future of the gaming ideology, Qualcom wish to harvest young minds to develop a touch-screen low-res multi-touch [insert other buzzword here] pong - wupee. Mobile gaming is for the bus-stop/train ride home... Ultimately better suited to chess/scrabble or the hordes if other existing rudimentary games that can be put down at a whim - when the train stops. The last thing people need is to be immersed in a believable cyber reality. Imagine them missing their stop because they're in Zog's shrub caves farming spiky essence cubes, getting zapped by their cell phone! When all they want is to get home; Remember home? Where those better gaming platforms are!

Georgia Tech: I hope you don't bow down tho their corporate greed, their investment in you is clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 22:11:33 -0800 Chris O'Shea - Hand from Above http://1001tales.posterous.com/chris-oshea-hand-from-above-1 http://1001tales.posterous.com/chris-oshea-hand-from-above-1

Hand From Above encourages us to question our normal routine when we often find ourselves rushing from one destination to another. Inspired by Land of the Giants and Goliath, we are reminded of mythical stories by mischievously unleashing a giant hand from the BBC Big Screen. Passers by will be playfully transformed. What if humans weren’t on top of the food chain?

Unsuspecting pedestrians will be tickled, stretched, flicked or removed entirely in real-time by a giant deity.

Chris O'Shea's Hands From Above is a lovely example of how installations can transform public places into play spaces - a simple concept & clearly engaging in execution
