*** WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT *** Technologies for Interactive Movies Place: University of Bristol, UK Date: September 13, 1998 (Before the ACM-MM98 Conference) Workshop is organized by: ATR Media Integration & Communications Research Laboratories ABSTRACT: "Interactive movies" is one of the future concepts of the entertainment media in which participants will be able to dynamically interact with the actors and environments in the movies. New opportunities for the active involvement in movies will be created through the integration of internet technologies with specialized techniques for creating plot, role, and character in movies. In order to realize such interactive movies, it is necessary to understand basic cinematic techniques, interaction technologies, and the creation of compelling content through effective storytelling. The combination of web based mediation and generative simulation of story events will enable participants to experience the dynamic unfolding of movies through the interactive involvement with virtual actors and the world which they inhabit. Recent advances in technologies for generating interactive stories, which will vary depending upon the activities of the audience and the story line of the movie, enable the creation of a new approach to interactive movies. Various kinds of computer graphics technologies necessary for realizing virtual actors and scenes will be described. Real-time interactions, generative methods for scene creation, and web based mediation are the key technologies to be covered. REGISTRATION: Attendance at the workshop is open, however, prior to the workshop we request that you send email to Edward Altman (altman () krdl org sg) along with a brief statement of your background and interests.
