BETAVILLE MIRROR WORLD! by Carl Skelton! ! Betaville is an open-source multiplayer environment! for real cities, in which ideas for new works of public! art, architecture, urban design, and development ! can be shared, discussed, tweaked, and brought to ! maturity in context, and with the kind of broad ! participation people take for granted in open source ! software development...! ! !

! ! ! Web-Client:! Radikal Imaginativ! Constant´s New Babylon! !
! Mobile-Client by M2C Institute and! Hochschule Bremen, Prof. Helmut Eirund! and Prof. Thorsten Teschke, ! ! Augmented Reality! ! On the mobile platform we have developed an Android application. Within the app we have integrated frameworks that help displaying the 3D models.! !
Touch Table-Client by M2C Institute ! And Hochschule Bremen, ! - camera-based optical sensing ! system FTIR! - 46 inch LCD monitor ! - Infra red light points are produced ! when a user touches the interactive ! surface. ! - These points are received by two ! cameras at the bottom of the table. ! - The open source software ! Community Core Vision (CCV) is ! used to convert the recorded infra ! red light points into events which can! get processed by our application.! !
Tablet-Client by M2C Institute ! and Hochschule Bremen, ! - Android client! - Still under development....!
The next step is the use of Betaville for collaborative design of urban art for public spaces:
“The People’s Smart Sculpture”
The sub-projects are: • • • • • • • • • • • •
„Express your –self/city” in Bremen, Germany “4D – Virtual Urban Art” in Bitola, Macedonia. “COOL technologies and participatory art “ in Olso, Norway “Digital Ground - Electromagnetic images of urban spaces” in Kristianstad in Sweden “Epic Mod - Worldmaking“ in Kristianstad “Ambients Spaces” in Kristianstad “Bicycle Stories” in Kristianstad and Bremen “Trails of Memory“ in Dusseldorf “Citylines - Mnemonic stories for urban city navigation” in Dusseldorf “VisualizeYourCity in Dusseldorf „New Life for the Gdansk Shipyard” in Gdansk „Rememberti“ in Bremen
