What's the future of Mediascapes? Think About it!

Why to talk about Mediascapes?
Due to the Archinect Weekly, they talk about mscape and title as "Mediascapes: The Fogbank VlogSpring '08 MediaScapes Vertical in this week".
(You can review it by this webpage)
The beginning presentation and second one in this video are quite meaningful.
This hybrid feature - part vlog (video blog), part public review - presenting the ongoing student work in SCI-Arc's Spring '08 MediaScapes Vertical studio, taught by Juan Azulay & Ed Keller.

This mobile, location–based experiences grab my attention to search more deeply about it. From bounds of information though website, the satisfied and clear definition of Mediascape is:
Mediascapes are the experiences that incorporate digital media with the sights, sounds, and textures of the world around you. A mediascape blends digital images, video, audio and interactions with the physical landscape. Games, guided walks and tours, and destinations are among the mediascapes created so far. Download a mediascape onto a portable device, and see how your landscape comes alive as you move through the environment.

And more intresting stuff is the "mscape beta" that talks about the future development for mscape.

We think about "guided walks and tours" to mscape in the first second, but maybe oneday or in the coming future, it will be created for tour!
