Bringing you physical, temporal, virtual worlds to the palm of your hand

Don't try this at home

What Japenese restaurants are near a cinema showing a film i want to see?
A regular search engine - even one with maps - will mean you have to manage several separate queries with several separate maps and pages: find cinema listsings; see what's showing at each; try to remember where they are. Then look for restaurants featuring your chosen cuisine; see where they are located; try to bring the maps together to see if they're near each other. Then go look for recommendations or menus about the restaurant.

mSpace mobile lets you explore information in more natural ways -
exploring context, association, and relations

mSpace mobile makes it easy - and keeps everything in view. mSpace mobile's innovative interface lets you explore dozens of areas of interest while keeping your original query/quary in sight. So you can find where a movie's playing relative to where you're standing right now, and see just how close or not restaurants are that suit your taste. And it you're curious, you can just as easily head off to explore information about different kinds of cuisine, or the biography of an actor in that film you're seeing, all without leaving your initial context. And mspace makes it easy to keep track of what you've discovered, too: see easily that your movie starts at 7:10; that you're catching the 11pm train home, and so on.

Awards


  • Slide 5 - 1st place, student award.
  • Imagine Cup, Software Design Competition, UK finals, 3rd place

Timeline and Milestones

mSpace mobile is in final prototyping stages. Over the next quarater we plan to develop a version of the software to work on smaller screened smart phones. We will also be producing online forums to make it easier for folks to tag things of interest from desktop mSpaces, rate them, comment on them, and have these connect with mSpace mobile. Look for an early 2006 release for multiple devices.

Salman khan compered to Madhuri

By
Image via Wikipedia Salman Khan, star of 2010 Bollywood box office champ Dabangg has decided to go for the gold again. Before Dabangg, Salman had a long dry spell (in Bollywood terms, anyway), but with that film he was able to take his tough guy/bad boy image and turn it to his advantage with the role of corrupt police officer Chulbul Pandey.  A south Indian style good guy with a bad attitude.  Chulbul fought the rowdies and dispatched them in proper filmi style. Salman Khan is full of praises for his co-star Asin. With their upcoming film “Ready” all set for release, Salman has gone a step further and compared Asin to Madhuri Dixit. The Dabangg actor said, “It’s a family entertainer, and there’s everything good about the movie, including an ideal woman just like Madhuri in Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. In ‘Ready’ it’s Asin.” On being compared to a diva, Asin stated “Madhuri remains unmatched. If I could be even five per cent of her, I would’ve achieved much.” The actress said f
