Abstract:
Today’s world of user-generated content and social-networking sites puts the audience at the heart of entertainment, allowing them to create their own personalized content. Hollywood has always pushed the boundaries of entertainment by applying the latest technologies to tell stories in new and compelling ways. But despite all its advances, Hollywood has not caught up with the audience-centric world of personalized content. Until now.
The creative vision of the world’s leading directors and continually advancing technologies in the studio and at home are delivering increasingly realistic environments and characters to the screen, bringing the imagination of Hollywood’s best 21st-century storytellers to life. Now, through ground-breaking software that enables sophisticated real-time rendering techniques and new delivery models, and through forthcoming client and server hardware that has the potential to put the equivalent of a supercomputer in a home set-top box, Hollywood is on the verge of bringing ultra-realistic user-directed entertainment to consumers.
This panel of the industry’s leading experts shows how the era of user-directed content will become reality in the near future.
