After a busy few months we can now announce the six Media Sandbox projects for 2009. We will post more details later this week, but in the meantime, they are:<BR>
<BR>
<B>AntiVJ | Mapping Software 1.0<BR>
</B>From plasma to cinema, mobile phones to TVs, affordable display technology has largely been limited to rectangular screens. Breaking out of the box, anti-Vj’s mapping technology creates stunning canvases on buildings, objects and even cars.<BR>
<BR>
<B>U-Soap Media | Viral Spiral<BR>
</B>Viral Spiral is a live cross-media game show in which studio contestants compete with members of the TV audience to solve clues which have been hidden around the internet.<BR>
<BR>
<B>HMC, Drake Music and Bibic | Cyber-therapy<BR>
</B>Multi-sensory environments have been around for years, providing therapeutic stimulation via touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste. Can Cyber-therapy use existing technologies in new ways, to provide cheaper, more accessible, more meaningful experiences?<BR>
<BR>
<B>C6.org and Steal From Work | Street Art Dealer<BR>
</B>The Street Art Dealer is a system where works of art can be bought from a specific street location via a mobile phone using a QR tag, with a payment system which directly links artists with the purchasing public.<BR>
<BR>
<B>Nomos | Audio Enable<BR>
</B>AudioEnable will allow organisations to incorporate audio capture and distribution capabilities into their own websites, without the need for specific technical knowledge or expensive hardware or software.<BR>
<BR>
<B>Indie Mobile | The Dis/Wish/Dream Generator<BR>
</B>Inspired by the Dizzee Rascal duet with Lilly Allen ‘wanna be a gansta’ the Dis generator is a fully interactive, cross media promotion utilising social media to link up music fans.<BR>
<BR>
Congratulations to all. Projects start work this week so you can look forward to many blogs, newsletters, questions and events in the next few months: <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><B><U><a href="http://www.mediasandbox.co.uk/">http://www.mediasandbox.co.uk/</a><BR>
