Nathan Bolton 90 Years of BBC Radio - Exhibition App 01

90 Years of BBC RadioExhibition AppThe exhibition in which I am proposing is a visual and audio exhibition, this uses alot of digital media within the exhibits itself. To make the exhibition more interesting and leave a lasting impression, I have designed BO�BQQ�XIJDI�XPSLT�XJUI�UIF�XBZ�mOEJOH�system and how the user interacts with the exhibits.

The App has two purposes; to inform and direct. Informing the user is a way to extend the exhibition into the digital media. This is how the digital aspects of the exhibition are communicated to the user so everyone can listen to it on their own and hear the full video/recording.The directing section of the app comes in the form of a 2D and 3D map which navigates the user around the exhibition space. This makes the exhibition personal to each person visiting the exhibition.

J o h n R e i t hJohn Reith (1889-1971) was the founder PG�UIF�##$��)F�XBT�JUT�mSTU�HFOFSBM�manager when it was set up as the British Broadcasting Company in 1922; BOE�IF�XBT�JUT�mSTU�EJSFDUPS�HFOFSBM�when it became a public corporation in 1927. He created both the templates for public service broadcasting in Britain; and for the arms-length public corporations that were to follow, especially after World War Two. Reith fought off the politicians’ attempts to JOnVFODF�UIF�##$ �XIJMF�PGGFSJOH�UIF�British people programmes to educate, inform and entertain.But in a working life that stretched over 60 years, Reith was at the BBC only 16. 5IJT�JT�UIF�TUPSZ�PG�B�UPXFSJOH�mHVSF�o�physically as well as metaphorically - XIP�XBT�OFWFS�TBUJTmFE�XJUI�MJGF�BOE�who said ‘What I was capable of compared with what I’ve achieved is pitiable.’John Charles Walsham Reith was born on July 20th 1889 at Stonehaven, Kincardineshire. His family were holidaying there from Glasgow, where his father George was a minister in the Free Church of Scotland, later to become the United Free Church of Scotland. His mother Adah was English and the daughter of a London stockbroker who met George in 1868 at the country home of one of his churchgoers. They married in 1870 and over the next ten years they had four boys and two girls. But it was nearly another ten years CFGPSF�B�mGUI�TPO �+PIO �XBT�CPSO��#Z�then Adah was 41 and George 47. John

(known as Non to the family) was brought up by nurses and rarely saw his father, who was usually too busy.The Start of the BBCIn March 1922 Reith left William Beardmore & Co. for London. Although he had reorganised the factory, it had failed to win the orders he was expecting and was virtually closed down after he left. According to Reith’s daughter Marista in her book My Father, it was a sign he was more interested in changing things internally than understanding what customers wanted. Once in London, Reith dabbled in politics. He was not a Conservative, but he did work on behalf of Unionist Tory MPs who wanted to maintain the wartime coalition under the Liberal Prime Minister Lloyd George. He met the Conservative Unionists’ leader, Austen Chamberlain, and Lloyd George, who said Reith ought to be in Parliament.
