 These are some vague ideas and directions we could head in. I'm not sure whether foam's work is best done as theming and adapting the existing lirec scenarios, or how much we need to/can head in our own direction. I guess the nature of this will become clearer after forthcoming meetings. These are some vague ideas and directions we could head in.

 +I'm assuming foam needs to look at widening the interest of the work done to as big an audience as possible. This means the other research partners can concentrate on the scientific nature of the scenarios/experiments. 
  
 We need to consider what access to hardware we will have in the short term, and how far we could get with development for this deliverable. It would be good to have some foam specific goals which can give direction to the development... so with that in mind: We need to consider what access to hardware we will have in the short term, and how far we could get with development for this deliverable.
