Perceptive Media

Visually mapping a narrative or story based on a script

The edit decision list (EDL) system allows you to automatically skip or mute sections of videos during playback, based on a movie specific EDL configuration file. This is useful for those who may want to watch a film in "family-friendly" mode. You can cut out any violence, profanity, Jar-Jar Binks .. from a movie according to your own personal preferences. Aside from this, there are other uses, like automatically skipping over commercials in video files you watch. The EDL file format is pretty bare-bones. There is one command per line that indicates what to do (skip/mute) and when to do it (using pts in seconds).

"Storytelling techniques within traditional broadcast media have not made major advances in recent years due to the linear and relatively rigid approach to narrative despite advances in the technology that delivers the content. This research proposes the concept of 'perceptive media' in which the content creators have at their disposal different tools and sensors to allow for the subtle adaption of the narrative without any direct interactions from the audience members. The concept is demonstrated through the creation of a 'perceptive radio' that is able to play specially designed content that adapts to the physical and social context in which the radio resides."

"rtificial intelligence already pervades 21st-century life, from Siri's directions to Netflix's suggestions of what you should watch next. But how much emotional intelligence is inside computers, cell phones, and video game consoles? In the past, the answer has been "none" - even the most complex deep learning machine is still a machine. That's changing, though, thanks in part to Nevermind, a video game that can sense players' emotions and adjust the experience to fit."
