Students to present work at New Media Night May 5
University of Maine students in the New Media Program will showcase their work during the annual New Media Night on Thursday, May 5 at the Innovative Media Research and Commercialization (IMRC) Center.
This year’s event, titled “Go Mobile,” aims to celebrate a society that is increasingly in motion by showcasing new technologies to help it stay connected on the go.
The proliferation of smartphones and tablets have replaced desktops as the world’s default computing platform, while GPS, fitness trackers and drones are pushing athletes, tourists and filmmakers to explore new horizons.
From 5–7 p.m., the public is invited to view inventive applications created by new media seniors for runners, cyclists and skiers. Also on view will be interactive films shot by drones, sites that help travelers find out-of-the-way destinations or hypoallergenic restaurants, and dance music composed with artificial intelligence.
More information is available online or by contacting Velma Figgins at 581.4390 or on First Class.
