I really enjoyed the Icinema experience. I felt captured opposed to distracted. Responding to Jess's Blog I also do not understand why the elephants where animated I would have preferred to have seen real images as it would have continued the illusion of reality where as when these distorted images were presented I felt disconected from the illusion. When I saw the first images I thought to myself; if they could take images from all over the world and create the same illusion there would be no need to travell because I actually felt like i was there with in the image but I guess thats the whole purpose of it being a 'immersive environment.'
