Where the hell is "Unite England"!?!?

I was just wondering why there isn't a Unite England, due to the fact that the website claims "Wherever you live there’s a Unite for you." When really, no there isn't, they've gone over-kill on the east of Asia, there's a Unite Japan, a Unite China, a Unite Korea and even a Unite Taiwan for christ's sake! But there isn't a single Unite in Europe. I'm sure the Koreans would be less bothered by a quick flight to China or Japan, than I am with a flight to Seattle (just to be clear, I'm not actually going to Unite Seattle, it was an example), and I'm sure the same goes for the Taiwanese. Hell, I'm sure just the one Unite in China would suffice, if it meant you could move some of the events around for the benefit of us inferior Europeans. Anyway, it's safe to say, that the statement "Wherever you live there’s a Unite for you." is a lie, since there isn't a Unite for 50 developed countries in Europe. I have vented my anger now, my rant is over.

 

You rang?

 

So is there really no event at all for European Unity users to go to this year?

 

I think the more important question is why no Unite : Australia. Can't get a much better destination than that

 

But there is a Unite Australia, it is on Oct 27th in Melbourne according to the Unite page http://unity3d.com/unite just seems to be Europe, Africa and Antarctica that are not deemed worthy

 

I am a little dissapointed there wasn't a Unite England.

 

ew melbourne

 

At least it is in Australia. Sounds like I might able to make it a work trip. I wonder if I could present what the museum is doing at it.

 

OMG, OMFG... OMG. How do I buy tickets, its going to cost my more then a kidney but I'm going, I'm sooooo going. Like this is amazing and so awesome. I'm dead. and its in Melbourne, it's pretty much in my lounge room.

@TheRaider, do you work at the Melbourne Museum?

 

Nope Powerhouse in Sydney (and The Mars Lab) (And they call themselves Museum Victoria now )

 

Sounds like it would be a cool job.

 

I love my job

I use unity for lots of different parts of my job and get to development and education which is what I am all about

 

What do you do? Like make applications for things like exhibitions?

 

Yes I have made applications to support exhibits. I have also made an augmented reality gallery, minecraft mods, taught classes in programming, microcontollers and many other things. Currently my favourite project is Mars Yard Maps, which in an in class collaborative learning tool http://www.themarslab.org/resources/about-mars-yard-maps/ I actually made an interface to remotely control a rover in the museum using unity.

I have done loads of other things too.

 

It sounds amazing. Do most Museums have people who do that?

 

Depends on the museum. Being an applied arts museum we obviously have a need for it.

But most museums have an interactives/digital media department of some shape. They also nearly always have education and outreach. I probably should be in the digital media one but I am in an education area because it is what I really want to do. Ipads are becoming a major way museums run because they are cheap, so being able to develop for them is becoming a larger part of business.

I have a dream of making significant changes to our broken education system. Turning our students from consumers to creators. Learn by doing instead of all the heavy front loading that occurs.

I am looking for forward to actually teaching unreal as well as unity this school holidays!

 

I have similar dreams, being a failed student

 

It's never too late.
