University of Canterbury, New Zealand
We presented our LIVE HISTORY movie on October 28th, 2009 at the New Technology Conference in the ING House. Below you can see some impressions of the building process and the final presentation. We were able to borrow the medieval costumes from the Historisch Openluchtmuseum Eindhoven.
The Nationaal Historisch Museum (NHM) asked us to envision how visitors could experience the upcoming NHM museum. We spend three months on developing a concept, preparing the technology and finally creating a demonstration video. We hope that you enjoy the movie. More background information is available on our Live History website. I would like to thank Billy Schonenberg, Alex Juarez and Aya Bartneck for their great efforts.
We visited Joypolis (Tokyo) to experience the latest interaction human-computer interaction technologies. The games and the physical interaction methods were amazing.
For the NHM project, we created an animated 3D timeline of 3D computer games. Hope you like it.
This years university ranking is even a bit more devastating for Germany. Last year, Netherlands and Germany both had 11 universities in the top 200. This year Germany has only 10 while the Netherlands still has 11.
