Mobile Bristol
 
 
A digital canvas over the city

 
Mobile Bristol is an ongoing project creating an experimental test-bed, the vision of which is to provide a digital canvas over Bristol. As you walk through the city a diverse range of digital media experiences – such as soundscapes, games, interactive media and art – will bring the city alive, enriching the ambience of the physical places.

The outcomes of the programme will be: a rich publicly accessible wireless infrastructure covering the city of Bristol; a variety of new business opportunities that can utilise the new capabilities; and extensive research publications that advance the science of computing, engineering and psychology. This event provides an opportunity to find out more about the potential of Mobile Bristol for you and your city.

One of the broadbandshow commissions is for the Bristol Ferry Boat Company.  This is being developed by Node using the Mobile Bristol infrastructure.

Mobile Bristol is part of the DTI's City & Buildings Research Centre, the principal founders are Hewlett Packard Laboratories, the University of Bristol and the Appliance Studio.
