Collaborative
Immersive Networked Environment (CINE) |
CINE is an augmented environment for entertainment and education. Pronounced “sign”, the environment’s name is a reference to urban street signage, sign language, and sine waves. CINE utilizes full-body gesture control, immersive 3D visualizations, virtual physics, and multi-channel sound in order to engage participants in a magical collaborative experience that enhances creativity and learning. As a networked computing platform that exists in immersive dynamic spaces, CINE thinks outside of the PC box with displays and interfaces that fill entire rooms. Our goal in building CINE is to question the cultural forces that threaten innovation and to explore new models for computer-mediated collaboration and group expression: models of collaboration that break down the barriers between people as well as between virtual and real spaces. |
