18:15 -18:25 - Forming Tech Communities
In a rapid culture of “learn the churn” of a high turnover of technology increments – how can we create self-sustaining communities to support knowledge gain?  It is happening – here in the City of York. I will show you where and how.

18:30-18:50 - Telling stories that fit: Interactivity, adaptability and immersion in video-based media. 
Dr Davy Smith will discuss how media convergence has enabled interactive, data-driven and artificial intelligence approaches to video-centric storytelling. Through applying such technologies, storytellers are given the ability to craft highly immersive, personalised and responsive experiences. Davy will introduce a pioneering collaborative project between the DC Labs and the BBC into the development of Object-Based Broadcasting; media that is responsive to the context of the viewer. He will explore the possibilities enabled by this innovative new medium of video-centric storytelling.
 Dr Davy Smith is a researcher based in the Digital Creativity Labs, University of York.
