Interval Research Presence at the Interface (or How Do You Know I'm Not a Movie and When Does it Matter?) November 25, 1992 The driving premise of "virtual reality" is to make the human-machine interface indistinguishable from unmediated reality, to create a sense of place we sometimes call "presence." But two very different groups consider themselves experts in this area: the computer community and the motion picture community. Consider the difference between the virtual community of the internet and the raw visual impact of an IMAX film. Both groups have severely miscalibrated use of terms (such as "realness" and "interactivity"). This presentation will speculate on the implications as these two groups learn to collaborate. Several examples of personal research and art work will be shown, including interactive "moviemaps" and immersive projection environments. |
