Georgina Bath, Interpretive Programs Manager, Luce Foundation Center, SAAM

Georgina manages SAAM's visible storage facility - the Luce Foundation Center for American Art. She worked on the development of the center, managing the project to create in-gallery touchscreen kiosks as well as writing thousands of interpretive text labels and creating audio and video assets. Since the center opened in 2006, she has managed a staffed information desk, coordinated a series of public programs, and maintained a variety of A/V installations. Current projects include the first Alternate Reality Game (ARG) to be sponsored by an art museum, a mobile content pilot, and a 3-D digital image project.

Ben Bedwell, Mixed Reality Lab

I am based in the Mixed Reality Lab of the University of Nottingham where I'm in the writing-up stages of my PhD, funded as a 3-year project by EPSRC. My current research involves exploring an approach to interaction design which combines the features of mobile devices and situated installations to deliver new kinds of user experience. To this end I have developed prototypes of museum exhibitions allowing visitors to use mobile phones to consume, personalise and move content. 

Recently I have participated in the evaluation of Inscape, a 4-year project funded by the European Commission aiming to enable non-experts to use and master the technologies for interactively conceiving, authoring, publishing and experiencing interactive stories. I have also organised and been responsible for the technical development of Anywhere-Somewhere-Everywhere, an alternative guided tour of Nottingham, in collaboration with acclaimed Austrian artist Willi Dorner and the University of Nottingham Architecture department.
