Description:
This interactive movie engine, developed by Evolutionary Publishing, made its first appearance in the spring of 1995 with Sony Imagesoft and Propaganda Code’s “Johnny Mnemonic” CD-ROM. CineACTIVE is notable for its transparent interface, which eliminates graphics from the screen to create a seamless cinematic experience. Developers Peter Marx, Michael R. Abato, and Philippe Goodman give live demonstrations of the engine as it was used for “Johnny Mnemonic.” They also discuss new projects and answer questions about the technology’s potential applications.
