Community Media gives individuals and community groups a "voice" they might not otherwise have had. The developments you will see here are extremely sustainable as they are supported by open source software, inexpensive web hosting and other free or inexpensive solutions. We have shaped open source software to match the needs and demands of each community group and they in turn take ownership of their own content creation.

Virtual Communities

The Video below was recently re-dicovered on a CD lying at the bottom of a drawer. In 2000 seven Tees Valley communities represented themselves on the Internet as Tees Valley Communities Online. At the same time the University of Teesside’s Virtual Reality department worked with these communities to develop a vision for their regeneration and future development. These environments could be viewed in the University of Teesside’s innovative “Hemispherum” and each community visited the Hemispherum to see this. Another hybrid VR model was built to represent all the communities and artefacts and creative objects were placed within it. The video of this place can be seen below
