Ates Gürsimsek, ph.d. in communication studies and research fellow, is teaching a course on Digital Mediation and Live Performance. Together with Morten Brandrup, MA in computer science, he introduces the students to the ExCylinder as a part of his course.
This Friday, on behalf of the ExLab team, I submitted the project description “Virtually Augmented Physical Learning Spaces” (VALS) to the rectorate at Roskilde University.
Our next meeting is about Kulturkaravanen and continued collaboration with the Viking Ship museum in Roskilde.
We celebrate the physical installation and the experience designs produced 😉
Hopefully, we will meet to test and experience the physical Experience Cylinder installation and some of the preliminary experience designs produced during springtime 😉
This ExLab meeting is about the progress of the physical construction and installation of the Experience Cylinder, and also about the progress of our upcoming projects.
We meet with some of the organisers of the project Kulturkaravanen.
Friday this week, ExLab meets with prorektor Hanne Leth to discuss the VALS project description.
Yesterday, we handed in the project description Virtually augmented physical learning spaces (VALS) to the prorektor at RUC.
The aim of the VALS project is to transform the physical learning and teaching spaces at Roskilde University by applying a virtual layer to workshop, lecture and project rooms. This virtual layer will be based on knowledge and experience from the development of the Rich intelligent spaces (RIS) digital architecture and conceptual framework developed here in ExLab.
Welcome to Copenhagen Damon 😉
Today Ates and I will meet with Damon Hernandez, who is in Copenhagen this week. He suggests that ExLab should contact the company PlayingMondo which I think is a great idea, because they have developed a gaming platform – a playground – of mixed realities combining geolocation, physical playground games, augmentation and 3D simulation. Ates will contact the company to find out about ways to collaborate.
From their website:
“Playingmondo is about location based games for mobile phones. The games are played outdoor, and use the built in GPS in the mobile phone to move around in the games. You are the player – you have to move yourself!”
