In doing so, we aim to lay the foundation required to understand, design and realise future large scale Ubiquitous Computing arrangements that will be embedded in the world we inhabit and shape the ways in which we all live. (EPSRC EP/F03038X/1)
Fellowships
Dream Fellowship: Inspiration, Immersion and Impact with the Creative Industries
EPSRC EP/J005215/1 Dream Fellowship for Steve Benford - Computers have evolved from being tools for workplace productivity to being fundamental enablers of creativity, culture, entertainment and sociability. They have also diversified in form, breaking away from the desktop to become mobile, wearable, embedded and immersive. In response, researchers have proposed alternative visions of how we will interact with computers in the future... 01 September - 31 August 2014
Interdisciplinary Foundations for Ubiquitous Computing
EPSRC EP/E050018/1 - Senior Research Fellowship for Tom Rodden - The impact of IT on society has already been profound, reshaping work, education, government, leisure, entertainment, and home life. The emergence of powerful digital infrastructures, wireless networks and mobile devices has started to embed computers into the architectures, furniture and personal fabric of everyday life. 31 March 2008 - 30 March 2013
