During ICT 2013 the Creative Ring, an experimental community developed by the Specifi project to share creative contents, showcased three different applications running in the Ring. First, an interactive demonstration of the Belgian CreaCity App was presented, and visitors could discover its features by carrying out nine playful activities within the pavilion. Then an interactive, annotated video for tourism was showed: a short film about Vilnius was enriched by clickable markers giving information on the city, its monuments and history. Finally, the Creative Ring presented an Internet-assisted artistic performance on stage: a piece of music was played live by musicians located in different cities and accompanied by a dancer performing in Grenoble (France) whose avatar was sent over the network and displayed remotely during the show (see pictures here).
The conference was the occasion to meet ICT professionals coming from industry, academia and research as well as to address a range of issues such as cloud computing, broadband and ICT infrastructures with a multicultural approach, looking at future opportunities and partnerships.
