Is it possible to create an interactive experience that sustains viewers' emotional involvement with streaming media at the same time that it enlists their attention in determining the order of events? How does one integrate the fluid continuity of cinematic experience with the kinds of choice and control that hypermedia affords? We developed a technique called Seamless Expansion that takes adv...

This article considers the changing role of women within the institution of marriage and the family set-up through the cinematic representation of inter-cultural lesbian relationships. It argues that the inter-cultural lesbian relationship constitutes an example of the emerging visibility of alternative forms of kinship to the heteronormative family model. Analysing the linguistic, temporal, an...

Avoiding unnecessary radiation exposure in children, including fetuses or embryos, is of paramount importance. However, emergent clinical situations will arise that necessitate the use of ionizing radiation-based modalities, such as computed tomography (CT), in this patient population. In such circumstances, the use of advanced visualization methods may provide optimum diagnostic utility. We pr...

The intention of my paper, The Attentional Theory of Cinematic Continuity (AToCC; this volume) was to bring together disparate lines of research on cinematic continuity and make an intentionally provocative first stab at theorising a cognitive foundation for the continuity editing conventions that pervade film. If our understanding of film cognition is to progress, clear hypotheses need to be p...

Real-time cinematic relighting of large, forest ecosystems remains a challenging problem, in that important global illumination effects, such as leaf transparency and inter-object light scattering, are difficult to capture, given tight timing constraints and scenes that typically contain hundreds of millions of primitives. A solution that is based on a lattice-Boltzmann method is suggested. Ref...
