The mobile data industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and is growing at a rate of seventeen percent per year. The capability to access data and applications from handheld devices is becoming increasingly vital for businesses and transforming business practices. However, while there are a multitude of software applications available for use on desktop computers these typically can't be used from mobile devices due to the small form factor. In this project we will develop new mobile interface techniques and methodologies that will allow unaltered desktop software applications to be used from small-form factor mobile devices, via transforming the application interfaces.Read moreRead less
An interactive drama engine in virtual reality. In computer games, the narrative is generally limited to a graph of possibilities predetermined by an author. In this project, our aim is to go beyond predetermined graphs and build an Interactive Drama Engine to provide the users of the system a fully immersive interactive dramatic experience in a virtual world.

In computer games, the narrative is generally limited to a graph of possibilities predetermined by an author. In this project, our aim is to go beyond predetermined graphs and build an Interactive Drama Engine to provide the users of the system a fully immersive interactive dramatic experience in a virtual world. Integration of interactive narrative and virtual reality hardware and software is a novel approach to the current problems in digital media. It is expected to lead to the development of new generation interactive films and computer games that benefit from the Interactive Drama engine in the context of narrative.Read moreRead less
