There is no software to download or install. Users interact using the software available on their laptops or portable devices.  The mobile unit allows easy transport anywhere four wheels will allow.

While the media:scape mobile is relatively easy to transport, do pay close attention to the diagrams and use information attached to the unit.  It is probably best if two people assist in moving the unit.

Funding for the media:scape mobile was provided through the Student Technology Fee.
