I attended the Hull School of Art and Design Degree Show last night. Very please to say it was a great success, some fantastic pieces of work on display.

This post is a quick review on some of the work I got to see some of the work wasn't finished but that didn't matter as what was being shown was very impressive.

Unfortunately I didn't get to see everyone's work with networking and having quite in depth chats with most people I bumped into I simply ran out of time so apologies to the people I haven't listed here.

Hull History Viewer by Phillip Shakesby

A superb application that uses augmented reality to show buildings that have long since past, it's a fantastic idea, that's implemented effectively using a mobile phone on the Android platform.

'Hull History Viewer will offer potential users a chance to see recreations of local buildings in their original locations, using their own Android device?s camera and viewer. Historical information about the buildings or places featured within the application will also be available.'

Find locations of bars that's are away fans friendly, as you can imagine an incredibly useful application. iMascot uses open source technologies for compatibility with all webkit based touch screen phones.

Bad History Concept Demo by Tracy Whitaker

Excellent level very spooky feel to it, with the creepy noises it successfully sets the mood, it has all the potential to be the start of an intense thriller. I enjoyed watching the video.

'This project is a partial level demo and its purpose is to get across the feel and the my theory of letting the players imagination be the main contributor to them feeling fear by using events not always seen but heard.'

Mix Tapes by Sarah Beth

This is an intriguing project it's not finished in fact it still has a few months of development but even so it still caught my attention, the premis of taking your old casests and digitizing them and designing a theme for it's inley sounds very interesting a project to keep my eye on in the coming months.

Peek a Pressie by Sarah Imeson

Peek a Pressie is an unusual idea it's like an online shop and yet it isn't, It's premis is it provides a platform for local businesses to show their products the consumers may be interested in buying.

What set's this apart from other similar projects is each shop involved can login at any time and amend/add products to the website with out any technical knowledge needed.
