Satellite Bureau

Me, Les and Sid went to the grand opening of the multimedia art exhibition called "trampoline", to try and find an interesting piece to talk about, at first, it seemed a little bit pointless for the first 20 minutes. Then I discovered this piece called the "satellite bureau", this piece seemed interesting. What it entailed was several people round Nottingham and a few in Canada were walking round with devices which gave off GPRS signals, now these signals were transmitted to the Broadway and onto the exhibitions server, these signals were than converted into lines, these lines were projected on a white board, each person had there own colour, so you could easily follow who's who. The only downfall was that it just had a white background, it would of been much more interesting if there was a way to show some sort of map of the city and give an accurate reading on where they are.

This could be used in many things, such as in the Army (tracking fallen soldiers or air crafts), the Police force (tracking people with an ASBO or a tag) or even in a big brother society (track your lover or children).
