Week 11 Studio Class

An excursion to iCinema Centre in UNSW. We were invited to explore the Interactive Cinema Research during this weeks studio class. In this outing our presenter showed us what was the iCinema used for, displaying for us some projects involving digital interactivity.

In a exerpt from the iCinema website http://www.icinema.unsw.edu.au/index.html, here is what the this study is all about,

"It brings together researchers and postgraduate students in new media, aesthetics, cinematic theory, multimedia design, computer science, cognitive science, software/hardware engineering and mining virtual reality.The iCinema research program focuses on research into digital interactivity for benchmark applications across the arts, culture and industry. In particular, it is focused on the way the digital can be used to imagine new ways of living in the contemporary world, redefining how we seek recreation and learning, and the way we work and do business.”
