“Urban Computing and the Temple of Doom”

Friday 14.09.07 I was one of the speakers at the first day of the Urban Interface conference in Oslo . It was a quite interesting event and a good opportunity to present my diploma-thoughts to a diverse audience. I presented my views on urban computing and urban gaming, and gave a slight preview of my diploma. I got interesting feedback, and I think the event can help me focus my concept/project. It was also a great exercise in communicating my research-work and discussing it outside the school-context.

I´ve uploaded my presentation and notes here: “Urban Computing and the Temple of Doom”
