The saturation of camera equipped mobile phones in the consumer market in recent years has led to new possibilities in on-the-spot photography and video capture. Around Ireland documents the country using only footage captured using mobile phones and allows users to upload their own photographs from their home towns directly, "moblogging" on the move.
Every year students participating in the M.Sc. in Multimedia Systems Programme at Trinity College collaborate to create exciting and innovative projects for display to the general public. This year is no different, with students producing computer games, time-lapse photography, artificial life simulators and sensor-controlled environments. As many of this year's projects are sensor-based we are proud to present this year's show: "Sensored Media 2006".
A website documenting Irish life and showcasing mobile video and photography, all uploaded directly while travelling the country.
The Dark Matter project creates an immersive multimedia installation, which allows users to physically interact with procedurally generated visuals and audio effects.
A novel way to explore major dramatic works of Samuel Beckett. Navigate through a surreal world populated with a number Beckett's characters and learn a little more about one of Ireland's most important writers.
Resonance uses the media of audio and photography to create an audiovisual interactive installation. Using multiple perspectives of the same scene this project explores how narratives unfold in time and space through the use of inanimate objects.
Super Fly Guy is a game that lets you experience what it would be like to fly. You can navigate through an atmospheric location by standing in front of a large screen and making flying gestures with your arms.
Vevo examines the concept of evolution by presenting a virtual evolution system which mimics Darwinian evolution. Within this system, which will evolve over the course of the exhibition, virtual 'creatures' will emerge. These autonomous creatures will behave, breed and evolve within a physical model of an underwater environment. Vevo aims to question our notion of evolution and how it relates to living things.
Vircle acts as an interactive virtual games board beginning with a four player virtual air hockey game, that is played with a virtual puck and physical strikers that are tracked with sensors to interact with elements of the game.
