The EQUATOR Project is part of a 10 million pound initiative, funded by the EPSRC, running from 2000-2006. It is an Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration (IRC) concerned with innovation and, in particular, exploring the relationship between the physical and the digital - in all walks of life. Eight British universities are taking part in the IRC, with about 100 researchers and Phd students involved.
Work at Sussex on the Equator project is divided into two main areas:
Equator projects that explore digital/physical environments in the home.
Equator projects that explore the use of combined physical/digital environments for extending current forms of interaction, play and learning.
Further information about Equator and other Equator projects can be found here.
