We’ve asked each of our commissions to recommend a research link that will help to demonstrate the wider context of their ideas…

What is mapping technique?…
AntiVJ recommend watching their short video demonstration - the paper structures have been mapped prior to Joanie producing the content he is projecting. The mapping software will enable anyone to easily map simple shapes, quickly turning them into a display.

Have a look at Street Art Dealer…
C6 and Steal From Work invite you to peruse their beta test site of Street Art Dealer, http://www.streetartdealer.com/

Audio Capture and Touchscreens with Nomos…
Nomos Media recommend having a look at http://www.ribbit.com/ .

HMC Interactive research Audiograms…
Research into Tonal Therapy has led HMC Interactive to consider the potential use of audiograms within their project. Learn more about what an audiogram is here, http://www.pacificaudiology.com/audiogram/uya.html

Rather than a link, U-Soap Media ask you to consider this graphic.

Rik has been coming up with format ideas aimed at different demographics and offering different levels of interactivity for a home audience. Some of formats will then enter the testing phase. Greg has been thinking through the testing plans and getting quotes from potential venues, kit and so on. Ruth Farrar, who works with Greg, has been doing research into how TV game, quiz and panel shows are constructed time-wise. This example shows how the rounds in Never Mind the Buzzcocks get successively shorter.
