E15 is an experimental architecture that places the power of presentation of web content into the hands of those that use it. Based on a dynamic, interactive OpenGL-based scripting engine, E15 exposes an entirely new face to web content, freely modifiable by each individual user.

so ends 3 weeks of xmas and new year holiday. In reality, I had only 2 weeks, having spent the last week collating information for the new modules beginning in semester two (three weeks away).

I think I have been successful – posts to various groups for discussion, have brought forth some great ideas. I just have to make them sticky for level 4 students (UK first years of a honours degree), and not scare them!

I am aiming to introduce the students to HCI, HCD as well as more “immersive and emotive” media design, without them thinking we are heading down the path of coding.

It is the visualisation I am interested in – the concept, the use of space – not just interface as they see it.

Thanks to all who have contributed to my requests
