Peter Ferne

Mista

I am a software architect and developer with a background in distributed systems, large scale web applications and mobile devices. In the last couple of years I have become interested in locative and geospatial software, particularly with a social component. I worked on the Futurelab project Mudlarking in Deptford, utilising the Mobile Bristol toolkit.

I am currently working as a technical architect at Mista- a University of Bristol spin-out company which is pioneering pervasive information technology to enhance the ways in which people experience and interact with their physical environment and with each other in urban and public spaces.

Imagine a digital landscape overlaying the physical world. As we walk around this landscape, we can tap into the digital sounds, sights and interactions that are positioned in the landscape and activated by our presence and actions.

We are developing a range of software solutions including both Windows Mobile client software and a full featured cross platform Web 2.0 application - Sharing-Places.com.

Sharing Places is a Web 2.0 application which enables and encourages users to combine GPS tracks, text, photo, video and audio annotations to author digital mediascapes, tag them and publish them for others to find, remix and share.
