Bear with me on this one - most of my small posts on big picture ramble a little. I was drawn [...]

The connection is the message
Oct 17th, 2005 | By Gary Hayes | Category: Creativity, Cross Media, Divergence, Interactivity, Media Personalizing, Personalization, Revolution, Social Software, TransformationHaving just led an immersive, emerging media lab last week (I link to one of my presentations below), I have been thinking a lot about ‘influence’.

Talk to your TV at last
Oct 15th, 2005 | By Gary Hayes | Category: Innovation, Interactive TV, Interactivity, TVA bit gadgety this post but falls squarely in the personalize space - this time the personal interface. No longer the domain of low budget 50’s sci-fi movies the era of speech control entering our domestic abodes is upon us. One Voice Technologies have introduced basic speech recognition for the Windows Media Center. It has [...]

It’s not about them, it’s about me!
Oct 6th, 2005 | By Gary Hayes | Category: Creativity, Cross Media, Divergence, Innovation, Interactive TV, Interactivity, Media Personalizing, On-demand, Personalization, Production, Profiling, Story Telling, TV�Interactivity must require viewers to give something of themselves and for the system to resonate with that.

Film of the game. Desperation?
Oct 5th, 2005 | By Gary Hayes | Category: Creativity, Distribution, Divergence, Games, Interactivity, Production, Revolution, Story Telling, TransformationFilms of games in my mind don’t cut the mustard. So why are they still making them? It comes as no surprise that Halo (a game which was part-epithany for me) is being made into a large scale feature film.

The Certainty of Chance
Oct 1st, 2005 | By Gary Hayes | Category: Creativity, Games, Innovation, Interactivity, Media Personalizing, Personalization, Production, Story TellingI have been in a philosophical, darkish corner the last few days. Things happen. In a related respite I remembered one the first interactive services I produced at the BBC – a broadband PC & connected CD service (current version) about the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Based on a TV series called “A State Apart”, [...]

I want my, I want my PTV
Sep 29th, 2005 | By Gary Hayes | Category: Advertising, Cross Media, Distribution, Interactivity, Media Personalizing, Mobile, Personalization, Profiling, Revolution, Social Issues & Privacy, Story Telling, Targeting, TransformationEmerging media has always been a generational thing. How many of our mums and dads frowned at the internet? How many of my generation are not really that much into SMS? How many twenty-some-things don’t quite get that ring tone thang?
