Future Cinema Systems: Next-Generation Art Technologies

The novel, farsighted Art Tech project with HK$35.4 million ITSP funding

In collaboration with the Cameron Pace Group China, Salon Films (HK) Limited, the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland and the City University of Hong Kong, HKBU has launched this novel attempt to develop and construct a "Future Cinema System" (FCS). FCS is an integrated system for artists and the creative industries to meet the growing demand for new interactive immersive forms of cultural experience, as well as entertainment and education.

With the construction of the FCS, three integrated technological innovations will be delivered.

01/ The visualisation innovation comprises a set of immersive, interactive visualisation resources for producing a 360-degree, three-dimensional and truly immersive environment.

02/ The human-computer interaction innovation contains a set of novel tracking sensing and biometric technologies that can record human conditions, responses and movements.

03/ The co-evolutionary narrative innovation comprises the software intelligence that will enable the audiovisual manifold to react and respond to the sensory prompts provided by the participants.

The deliverables of the project will first be deployed at selected facilities in Hong Kong, such as the Hong Kong International Airport, M+ Museum and Tai Kwun.
