Author: Martin Flintham

Ph.D

Martin Flintham is a Research Fellow with the Mixed Reality Laboratory at the University of Nottingham. His main research interests revolve around the construction of new software, practices and infrastructures to support mixed reality experiences, pervasive gaming and locative media projects. These aim to be both powerful and yet easily configurable by artists and designers through the use of familiar tools and intuitive practices, combined with a pragmatic approach to designing for mobile technologies and their inherent uncertainties; an approach that becomes particularly relevant when placing new technologies in the hands of both experience authors and the general public.

Martin has collaborated closely with the artists group Blast Theory, leading the development of Can You See Me Now?; awarded the Prix Ars Electronica Golden Nica for Interactive Art in 2003, Uncle Roy All Around You; nominated for two BAFTA awards in 2004, the SMS based game Day of the Figurines; which received an honorary mention for Interactive Art at Prix Ars Electronica, 2007, and Rider Spoke; a new experience for cyclists using a novel WiFi positioning system. He has several published works at the ACM CHI and Ubicomp conference and in the IEEE Pervasive journal.
