FluffyLogic has been working with Hewlett Packard’s Research Labs Bristol to create interesting content for HP’s new iPAQ device in the form of Mediascape, or Mscapes. A mediascape is a mixture of images, sound, video and GPS (global positioning satellite) which together provide an exciting interactive experience. FluffyLogic has been creating games including ‘Hidden Danger UXB!’ and Doubloons, as well as working with HP to create an interactive website wizard that allows anyone to create their own Mediascapes.

The GreenBristol website, designed and built by FluffyLogic, has been included in the Connecting Bristol, Bristol’s Digital Challenge bid which has been submitted to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) on 2nd May 2006. Green Bristol enables members of the community to record their experience of the world around them in terms of environmental and cultural significance. Over one hundred such projects have appeared around the world – but this is the first truly interactive system that allows the community to place its own locations, stories, images, sounds and films on a digital map. The site also pushes forward our commitment to the open source and free software technology. The source code for this project is available via Sourceforge.net for other green mapping groups to use and contribute to!

FluffyLogic’s Ben Gannaway recently pitched his ideas for creating immersive spaces that go beyond the simple screen to MediaSandBox. Ben is interested in questions around how immersive environments can change our perception of media and data, and what are the creative possibilities offered by such an environment? As a result of his pitch he has been offered space at Bristol’s new Pervasive Media Lab to explore these ideas more fully. Ben plans to showcase the work, ‘recursive function‘ at this years Shambala Festival!
