The Mobile Bristol was a programme investigating how mobile devices and pervasive information technology can be used to enhance the experience and interaction with the physical environment and with urban and public spaces. FluffyLogic provided consultation in interactive systems and computer games design to a project on the Mobile Bristol platform. This project was to use the GPS and wifi capabilities of the system and to envision how these might be used to create game-style content.
