Visiting the icinema, the experience brought life to the concepts we have been addressing in class. We were in this sort virtual world where we felt apart of the visual images. These ideas of liveness, immersion, interactivity and embeddedness became so much more apparent. The panoramic video footage, meticulous sound and the ability to navigate through the medium opens up your thoughts on future technology.
After a little while I felt quite dizzy, I found my eyes were too closely focusing on the pixilation of the images; I think that had something to do with the low resolution. I’m not as tech savvy as some might be so the experience was intense, I couldn’t even fathom how someone could even produce such a brilliant piece of work. I think this new kind of environment is the way of the future.
