Despite the fact that narration is a critical concept for the creation
of most feature films, narration is rarely used as a structuring device
of interactive titles. Traditionally, in mimetic narrative all sequences
point to the situation of one "main" character. One
interesting opportunity for "interactive" delivery lies in
the story told from multiple viewpoints
Two Viewpoints is a short, short movie in which empathy can lie
with either Kathryn or John.
As an experiment in structured video, the story has
not been fully developed. The story is destined to run in the
laboratory on prototype hardware.
The story is designed to playout on the Cheops Imaging System,
a compact, modular platform for the acquisition, real-time
processing, and display of digital video sequences and model-based
representations of moving scenes.
Eight systems have been built and are in use at the Media Lab and at
various sponsor sites.
