S3 is funded by Tekes Tila-program

Research goals:

The project S3 has as its goal to bridge and interlink physical and virtual spaces with innovative digital media services and novel interaction technologies. The S3 project develops the concept of ubiquitous space media that fosters social activity and rich interaction using large-scale digital displays in connection with physical spaces.

Research statement:

Our aim is to build, test and evaluate service prototypes in business-viable contexts, including cinema theatres, exhibitions and festivals. We will also propose tools and processes of ubiquitous space media production. The project results can be utilized broadly in designing ubiquitous space media concepts for entertainment and other engaging media experiences.
