Workshop Description

This workshop aims to give participants the skills to create innovative mash-ups of two of the unique affordances of today’s smartphones: 1. Augmented Reality, and 2. Mobile movie production and sharing. Using geotagging via smartphones in-built GPS mobile movies can be located within a geographical context, linked to collaborative Google Maps and viewed in Google Earth. This adds a rich layer of contextual information to mobile movies, effectively augmenting a mobile movie with geographical data. Additionally, new mobile video applications such as Vyclone, Vine, and the YouTube online editor add collaboration to mobile movie making. We will explore scenarios for innovative student team projects using these tools.

The workshop will leverage the expertise of two academic advisors (Cochrane & Narayan) with specialty in mobile social media, and pair this with the expertise of two international mobile film making specialists: Antonczak (NZ & France) and Keegan (UK).
