Personal Architectonics of Interfaces to Artefacts (PATINA)

This multidisciplinary project will look to transform the technologies used to support research. Carried out in collaboration with the universities of Brighton, Greenwich, Newcastle, Southampton and Swansea, researchers on the three-year project will build technologies that can be worn on the body and have the capability to identify objects and relate them to information taken from the web.
