Interactive Art Exhibit In Boston Using The iPAQ 5450
Posted by Janak Parekh in "CONTENT" @ 10:00 AM
This sounds really cool -- has anyone in Boston checked this out?
"SmartWorlds collaborates with HP, Bill Perry of pocketpcflash.net and Prosum Inc., and Boston's Nature and Inquiry artists group, to create the first integration of Flash, GPS and PocketPC in a location-aware art exhibit. Visitors borrow an HP iPAQ 5450 from the Copley Society of Art on Newbury Street and walk through the Boston Public Garden and Common. As they walk content is triggered based on their longitude and latitude and they see and hear ideas on the PDA. Once they return to the gallery the tracings of their walks are uploaded and displayed on a map of the area. Invisible Ideas was awarded First Jurors Prize by the Copley Society of Art!"
There a semi-interactive demo on the site, and the exhibit apparently runs through May 10th.
