Objectives:
Develop and evaluate a novel system that uses concepts and
technologies in the chosen specialisation with a focus on exploring
1) its commercial aspects, and/or 2) its socio-cultural
implications, and/or 3) its use in generating scientific
knowledge.
The purpose of this project module is to give the student the
opportunity to acquire practical, real-world experience with
developing media technological products within the context of a
company or an organization. The development must be subject to
relevant constraints and conditions of the real-world context.
