The Big Screen-Touch screen idea rolls on.
The idea has been expanding over the last few weeks to a point where I’m wondering if I will actually be able to pull this off… ? After a lecture from Tony Churnside and Ian Forrester, members of BBC’s R&D department covering the importance of social media, connecting with people and using Microsoft Kinect to create a unique musical experience in cooperation with the BBC Philharmonic, my brain began working at double speed. I began thinking how I could incorporate these ideas in to my final year project. I have already planned to use touch screen synthesizers, video footage and social media in order to create this project but the lecture has added another dimension to an already ambitious idea.
Since the last post on the subject, I have contacted blip interactive via email and have had several conversations regarding the use of their Nano Studio and how or if it is possible to use multiple instances of it over several touch screen tables and also contacted Chesca Miles via Twitter to ask if she would be interested in taking part in the filming aspect, performing motorcycle stunt riding at one of her training spots in London. The next big step to take is to figure out how to control video using the touchscreen tables via MIDI….
This is something I am going to have to research.
I will post more on the subject as things progress.
Thanks for reading.

#STEC12 and BBC ‘R & D’
@TonyChurnside and @cubicgarden from BBC’s research and development team took todays lecture. The subjects from each were rather different. Whilst Tony focused on a technological advancement and quite scientific presentation, Ian (@cubicgarden) talked more about the use of Twitter as a networking aide and how it can benefit us in todays ‘social network’ culture in terms of meeting the right people or making our voices heard by the people we are trying to reach and in most cases impress in the hope of finding employment or experience within our chosen industry.
