- Dialectical Polyptych: an interactive movie installationPublication . Mendes Da Silva, Bruno; António, Rui; Rodrigues, João; Tavares, MirianMost of the known video games developed by important software companies usually establish an approach to the cinematic language in an attempt to create a perfect combination of narrative, visual technique and interaction. Unlike most video games, interactive film narratives normally involve an interruption in time whenever the spectator has to make choices. “Dialectical Polyptych” is an interactive movie included in a project called “Characters looking for a spectactor”, which aims to give the spectator on-the-fly control over film editing, thus exploiting the role of the spectator as an active subject in the presented narrative. This paper presents an installation based on a mobile device, which allows seamless real-time interactivity with the movie. Different finger touches in the screen allow the spectator to alternate between two parallel narratives, both producing a complementary narrative, and change the angle or shot within each narrative.
- Experimenting on film: technology meets artsPublication . António, Rui; Mendes Da Silva, Bruno; Rodrigues, João; Tavares, MirianInteractive films depend on the participation of viewers. This participation usually translates into making decisions that determine the sequence of the narrative. Many interactive films make use of an interaction design that reduces the viewer’s immersiveness by interrupting the narrative to allow choices and the use of graphics to alert about decision points. This article describes how “Dialectical Polyptych” focuses on the possibility of creating an interactive aesthetic experience of filmic visualization without the interference of visual elements, allowing immersive participation with a transparent interface.
- Dialectical polyptych: an interactive moviePublication . António, Rui; Silva, Bruno; Rodrigues, J. M. F.Most of the known video games developed by big software companies usually establish an approach to the cinematic language in an attempt to create a perfect combination of narrative, visual technique and interaction. Unlike most video games, interactive film narratives normally involve an interruption in time whenever the spectator has to make choices. “Dialectical Polyptych” is an interactive movie included in a project called “Characters looking for a spect-actor”, which aims to give the spectator on-the-fly control over film editing, thus exploiting the role of the spectator as an active subject in the presented narrative. This paper presents a system based on a 3D sensor for tracking the spectator's movements and positions, which allows seamless real-timeinteractivity with the movie. Different positions of the body prompt a change in the angle or shot within each narrative, and hand swipes allow the spectator to alternate between the two parallel narratives, both producing a complementary narrative.
