A variety of interactive films will be prototyped by the students based on knowledge and techniques presented by Chris. Students will be asked to propose and make prototype interactive films based on:
-Using a brain-computer interface to control branching possibilities in a non-linear fiction film.
-Using a brain-computer interface as a means to analyse the effectiveness of short non-fiction films to induce relaxation. Who can make the most relaxing film?
-Training an AI image-recognition interface to control direction choices in a non-linear fiction film.
-Creating an installation that uses a physical, tangible interface as the basis for an interactive film.
