‘Tis the season for special guests at UMI. On Monday, April 30 at 3pm, Katherine Willis from the University of Weimar (Germany) will talk about her work with the MEDIACITY project.

Katherine’s research is focussed on wayfinding and navigation with and mobile and wireless technologies. She has recently conducted empirical research on how people perceive space using mobile applications.

Umibot is especially interested in this research, as it blends my master’s interest in spatial cognition, urban wayfinding, urban planning and social media.

This (like all UMI events) is a semi-private event: we’d love to have you if we have room, so if you are interested, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
