Interactive Movies

I believe that a truly interactive movie is a long way down the road. I think it must combine two things: videogames and movies. In the Grand Theft Auto concept, a user can have freedom to do whatever they want to do. In a movie, you watch the story that was pre-planned go out. Like what was said in the article, there isn't any feasable way to deal with the storage issues and everything that would be required to support the space required. There are many ways that a movie can go about trying to make an interactive movie. Most of them come to very familiar turning points and endings. It is like the fateful idea that no matter what you do, you will always face your destiny. This isn't that interactive but I guess it is a step towards total interactivity.

Hello everybody! My name is Nicholas Seckar and I am currently attending Colorado State University in Pueblo and I plan to graduate with a Mass Communications Major with an emphasis in New Media.

To start off, the reason why I created this blog was for an assignment in one of my classes. That class is called, "Interactive Media and Interface Design." However, I must say that I have always wanted to create a blog... so I guess this is a good time to do it.

What is Interactive Media?

My definition is simple... Interactive Media is any form of technology that is responsive to the users level of interaction. The level of interaction can be anything from a simple television remote, all the way to a complicated video game with amazing innovations of Artificial Intelligence. At any rate of interactivity, Interactive Media is something that is very amazing and always changing at a very high rate of speed.
