iCinema blog

I thought the iCinema experience was really mesmerizing and compelled my attention the entire time; I think the technology is very useful especially for educational purposes (e.g the mining tutorial) I felt as if I was really there, like my body was transported into the images. There were moments where the image was coming towards me and I moving away thinking it would hit me, knowing perfectly well it wasn’t real. The 360 visual really did make the rainforest and those pictures of India look truly genuine yet they weren’t. This reminds me of Auslander’s text how it’s not really live but a representation of a live event. The T-Visionarium, I thought was amazing but I was really distracted, didn’t know which clip to watch. The iCinema really demonstrates just how far technology has come in immersing itself with reality.
