About iCinema
The iCinema Centre for Interactive Cinema Research, established in 2002, is a joint venture of the College of Fine Arts, Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of New South Wales. It brings together researchers and postgraduate students in new media, aesthetics, cinematic theory, multimedia design, computer science, cognitive science, software/hardware engineering and mining virtual reality.
The iCinema research program focuses on research into digital interactivity for
benchmark applications across the arts, culture and industry. In particular,
it is focused on the way the digital can be used to imagine new ways of living
in the contemporary world, redefining how we seek recreation and learning, and
the way we work and do business.
The Centre has four principal research domains:
Interactive
Narrative Systems
The exploration of narrative systems that allow the viewer to interact with a wide range of cinematic materials including autonomous narrative agency.
Immersive
Visualisation Systems
The investigation of multi-modal environments that provide settings for the exploration of diverse mixed reality scenarios.
Distributed
Interface Systems
The integration of distributed multi-user virtual environments within local and globally networked systems.
Theories
of Interactive Narrative Systems
The inquiry into digital experience in the context of the contemporary world.
