Urban Computing and Locative Media

Anne Galloway, of Purse Lip Square Jaw, has published her PhD.

“The dissertation builds on available sociological approaches to understanding everyday life in the networked city to show that emergent technologies reshape our experiences of spatiality, temporality and embodiment. It contributes to methodological innovation through the use of data bricolage and research blogging, which are presented through experimental and recombinant textual strategies; and it contributes to the field of science and technology studies by bringing together actor-network theory with the sociology of expectations in order to empirically evaluate an area of cutting-edge design.”

NTT DOCOMO Future Concept Videos

One of the interesting things about this concept video (which isn’t particularly earth-shattering in itself), is comparing it with IDEO’s concept piece they produced for Intel. It’s interesting how the DOCOMO piece feels, just, well, more human.

“Mobile phones have evolved to become indispensable tools that have changed the way we lead our lives, and they are certain to continue to evolve and play an even greater role in both business and everyday life.”
