Production
Projects produced by the HyperMedia Studio implement digital systems of interaction between the production infrastructure (cameras, lights, video projections, sound system), the creative environment (director, performers, scenery, objects) and the viewing environment. These systems of interaction function as an engine for creative structural and delivery conditions.
The following computationally demanding tasks are employed to accomplish the objectives of production:
- Real-time sensing and analyzing of scene variables such as position, movement, speed, speech, gesture, line of sight, touch, pressure, and selection.
- Real-time tracking and analyzing of camera and lighting variables such as position, movement, speed, focal length, and intensity.
- Real-time monitoring and assessment of narrative and audiovisual structures in relationship databased script.
- Triggering of show control mechanisms in response to creative and viewing variables as instructed by databased script.
- Development of virtual scene elements (actors, objects, scenery) with aleatory internal and narrative logic responsive to environment, narrative, and viewer variables
- Real-time digitizing, processing and distributing of multiple synchronized video streams.
- Real-time video mapping (clickable video areas/elements) for hypervideo actions.
- Real-time integration of scene variables with delivery dynamics to be used as both production tool and user interface.
- Real time tracking and computing of collective and individual input from local and/or remote viewers to generate general and individual program responses.
- Interfacing of production and viewing variables with databased script and audiovisual materials for the generation of dynamic structural and delivery program conditions.
- Real-time feed back system to both the production environment and the video processing environment for the triggering of general and individual responses.
- Serving of general and specific video streams/elements.
