Many of the ideas of the application of fused media into environments and lives are inspired by discussions with and articles of Howard Rheingold. Thanks a million Howard. The work we do is a testimony of your vision and foresight.

Also, the extent to which the fusion technology can be applied to is inspired by the diversity of the topics being addressed at MIT's  Media Lab.

Thanks also to all those who are researching into Molecular Biology. They provide so much inspiration into the interplay between matter, information and energy.

Finally I would l like to thank my colleagues in De Montfort University's Institute of Creative Technologies especially Sue Thomas, Stephen Brown and Andrew Hugill for their many inspiring discussions.
