Wednesday 19th 1pm - iCinema Demo

As a treat today, we will be going to the iCinema Centre for Interactive Cinema Research, this will be a lot of fun, and you will get to see some cutting edge technology in a range of fields all relating to Digital Interactivity. We will meet at 1:00pm at the bottom of the Scientia Building steps, and we will all go in together at 1:15pm. The doors are locked, so if you're late I will come out and check for any stragglers every 10-15 minutes or so.


Here is an excerpt from the website http://www.icinema.unsw.edu.au/index.html:

“The iCinema Centre for Interactive Cinema Research, established in 2002, is a joint venture of the College of Fine Arts, Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of New South Wales. 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.”
