MA Screen Media Cultures - Seminar

On Monday, 20.10., I gave a 3-hour presentation in the MA module "Screen Media Cultures". I had been invited by the module leader Lance Pettitt from the Faculty of Arts to be involved in this module, and it turned out to be a quite sucessful talk. Among the students is Chris Nriapa (BBC) with whom I already had contact in the past years regarding the BBC Big Screen. He asked me if I could be involved as a supervisor in his Master dissertation project next semester, and I tentatively agreed.

My talk was about the technology of TV, displays, and film: historical development and technical principles. I also addressed the topic of Augmented Reality and showed a few videos from the recent ISMAR conference.

This presentation has strengthened the collaboration between our two faculties, and I look forward to further collaboration with Lance.
