The Mobile Bristol Centre was part of the DTI’s City & Buildings Research Centre, and was founded by Hewlett Packard Laboratories, the University of Bristol and the Appliance Studio. Providing an experimental test-bed for technology and user value research in pervasive mobile media, the vision was to provide a digital canvas over the city onto which rich situated digital experiences could be painted and new commercial ventures explored.
Mobile Bristol leaves a legacy which includes an accessible wireless infrastructure covering the city of Bristol, a variety of new business opportunities and extensive research publications that advance the science of computing, engineering and psychology.
