Eulerian Video Magnification for Revealing Subtle Changes in the World

Narrowcasting and the battle of the robots

"Interactive narrative systems attempt to tell stories to players capable of changing the direction and/or outcome of the story. Despite the growing importance of multiplayer social experiences in games, little research has focused on multiplayer interactive narrative experiences. We performed a preliminary study to determine how human directors design and execute multiplayer interactive story experiences in online and real world environments. Based on our observations, we developed the Multiplayer Storytelling Engine that manages a story world at the individual and group levels. Our flexible story representation enables human authors to naturally model multiplayer narrative experiences. An intelligent execution algorithm detects when the author's story representation fails to account for player behaviors and automatically generates a branch to restore the story to the authors' original intent, thus balancing authorability against robust multiplayer execution."

Nothing will be the same again - BBC's Visual Perceptive Media project will end the shared story experience

Personality via your music collection

BBC R&D is working on a Visual Perceptive Media project that uses information about the viewer to tailor video content. This week we discuss the effect that technology like this might have on advertising, entertainment, and especially education. Imagine what it would be like for a lesson to play your favorite music, reference your favorite movies, or use your favorite colors? That's the type of school we want to go to.
