Computer scientists at U.K.‘s Swansea University are working on a collaborative project that uses new mobile phone technologies to help villagers in India record and share their stories and experiences, according to a report in this Web site. The StoryBank project is providing people in the Indian village of Budikote, 100km from Bangalore, with mobile devices that allow them to make videos, record sound and take photographs, and then edit the material into short films or “stories”. The idea is to tweak this pilot and adapt it for U.K. consumers looking for new ways of creating and editing videos, music and pictures to share with other users.
