Melodius Walkabout
March 31, 2005

Melodious Walkabout, by Richard Etter, is a wearable system that guides a user by contextualizing audio contents s/he is listening to. The system doesn't use speech and allows
the user to listen to her/his own audio content while being aware of the location of the destination. With Melodious Walkabout, instead of maps and directions you just put on headphones and select your destination and favorite songs on your PDA. The music begins and audio content reaches you from a certain direction. The direction of the virtual sound source unobtrusively tells you in which direction to go. Melodious Walkabout consists of:

1. A Bluetooth GPS-receiver.
2. A GI System that calculates the direction and distance to the destination.
3. An Auditory Display that renders personal audio contents in real-time according to the GIS.

Maybe not that straightforward then!

Playtime
March 22, 2005

Found a few games of note recently...

This Greenpeace one encourages you to save the whales... Whereas this one is as addictive as Tetris, great online version here...

And NotePad Invaders, left, is just plain cheeky, but at the same time fantastically smooth to play, all in the mouse, great for that RSI!

Now get on with some work!

Eyestorm Gallery
March 19, 2005

Went to see the Lucie Bennett and Rob & Nick Carter exhibits at the eyestorm gallery today - Many thanks to Kristina for showing me around and explaining the Carter's light painting technique. The images on the website really don't do these things justice.

Also for showing me the Jamie Reid Tea and Sympathy prints, putting me on the mailing list and not looking the slightest bit disappointed when I didn't buy anything... or when I confused a couple of Vanessa Clegg's for Jenny Saville's, which in retrospect are very different works indeed.

Lucie Bennett: Part 2
March 17, 2005

I wondered what was going on when I looked through the stats and saw all the hits to this site from searches on Google for Lucie Bennett - Then I noticed her work was featured on BBC2's The Apprentice last night - I wish I had a link [I'm sure I have somewhere] to Rob and Nick Carter as well to see how they fared. Not that the Carter's need any help!
Their Private collectors include Elton John, David and Victoria Beckham, Simon Fuller, Philip Treacy and Mathew Williamson, and their work is in the corporate collections of many large companies including The Virgin Group, Sainsbury's PLC and Reuters.
Of the 80 visitors in the last 48 hours I reckon 65 were from Lucie Bennett searches. So, to save you any more trouble. The BritArt/eyestorm exhibition is on at...

BRITART/EYESTORM GALLERY
18 Maddox Street
London
W1S 1PL

Dates 3-26 March 2005

directions The gallery is just off Regent Street, a couple of minutes walk from Oxford Circus tube station.
