Scott Snibbe will present the paper “Social Immersive Media: Pursuing Best Practices for Multi-user Interactive Camera/Projector Exhibits,” on April 8 at 11:30 AM at the 2009 Computer Human Interface (CHI 2009) Conference in Boston, Massachusetts. The paper won an award for best paper of the conference. Research for this paper was supported by NSF CreativeIT Grant #IIS-0742297. Dr. Hayes Raffle, formerly of MIT’s Tangible Media Group, and now at Nokia Research is the paper’s co-author. The paper’s abstract follows:
“Based on ten years’ experience developing interactive camera/projector systems for public science and culture exhibits, we define a distinct form of augmented reality focused on social interaction: social immersive media. Our work abandons GUI metaphors and builds on the language of cinema, casting users as actors within simulated narrative models. We articulate philosophical goals, design principles, and interaction techniques that create strong emotional responses and social engagement through visceral interaction. We describe approaches to clearly communicate cultural and scientific ideas through the medium. And we demonstrate how practitioners can design interactions that promote specific social behaviors in users.”

Scott Snibbe will be speaking at the American Film Institute’s DigiFest on the potential for Social Immersive Media to become a dominant new communication medium as engaging as cinema, yet one where people remain aware of their bodies and their relationships to others. The talk is on November 7, 2008 at the Mann 6 Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. The event is produced by the American Film Institute’s Digital Content Lab.

Sona Research was awarded a 2008 National Science Foundation CreativeIT Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER), grant #0742297. Scott Snibbe of Sona Research is co-Principle Investigator with Dr. Christof Bregler, founder of New York University’s Movement Research Group.
The grant, titled “The Grammar of Immersive Interactive Narrative” supports the development and documentation of a formal Human Computer Interface (HCI) language, along with procedures and technologies for emotionally impactful and educationally powerful social immersive media involving camera/projector interactive systems. In addition, the grant will support human-computer interaction studies to measure the emotional impact of immersive interactivity compared to a non-interactive immersive experience and basic research and prototype development for new techniques for immersive narrative interaction.
