Introduction
Media Sandbox 2010 centred on the creation of ideas that explore rich experiences augmented by open data or mobile, wireless & sensory technologies. Life is complicated, so we set the challenge to come up with a brilliant idea that could tackle a problem, provide a service or simply offer a transformative experience.
