Metapolis and Urban Life

MAIN        ORIGINAL CALL FOR PAPERS        DAY ONE RESULTS            DAY TWO RESULTS

Two Day Workshop held at UbiComp 2005

10-11th September 2005
Tokyo, Japan

48 hours, 100 ideas, walk, watch, sketch, collect, discover, uncover, map, spy, follow, trace, shadow, deception, intrigue, mystery, karaoke, don't miss out...last chance to participate in forming our future urban life...

The Metapolis and Urban Life workshop at UbiComp seeks to include a range of practitioners exploring urban projects for which the urban is not merely a palimpsest of our desires but an active participant in their formation. From dynamic architectural skins to composite sky portraits to walking in someone else's shoes to geocaches of urban lore to hybrid games with a global audience, position papers for the Metapolis and Urban Life workshop should transform the “new” technologies of mobile and pervasive computing, ubiquitous networks, smart materials and locative media into experiences that matter.
