MIT IAP '04
Visions
of the Future:
Screening and Making Concept Videos
During the first two sessions of this activity, we will show research and
concept videos that demonstrate visions for computing in the home and workplace
of the future. We will start with videos from 1980 and work our way to the
present day, studying both the themes and the styles of the video presentations.
Interested participants will be encouraged to
individually or in teams create
their own thought-provoking and entertaining videos that show compelling visions
of how technology can improve our lives. House_n: MIT Home of the Future staff and students will be available
as advisors. Participants may use storyboarding, video editing, still
photography, Photoshop hacking, and possibly even actual programming to create
interface mockups. Participants who complete videos will be encouraged to submit
them to the Sixth International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing's video
program, and the videos will be debuted at the end of IAP and
shown in subsequent years.
Video screening sessions (attend both):
Wed Jan 14, 6-9:00 pm
Thu Jan 15, 6-9:00 pm
List
of video clips to be shown
Place:
MIT Room
56-154
Final presentations (if needed):
TBD based on participant interest
(probably Wednesday January 28 if held)
Prerequisites:
Interest in UI design and the future of
human-computer interfaces and ubiquitous computing, creativity, enthusiasm.
If you plan to make a movie, helpful but definitely not
required is experience with video editing, still and video photography expertise,
artistic abilities, and interface mockup skills.
Not for credit.

Registration is not required, but if you think you may attend please send a
note as soon as you can via email. Also,
if you have ideas for videos not on the list and know how to obtain them, send
a note.
Schedule:
After the two movie nights, we will schedule times for those
participants who are inspired to make videos to share ideas throughout the
remainder of IAP. Video making would start with team forming and idea brainstorming
to be followed by storyboard presentations, design critiques, and finally a
debut presentation (probably on Wed Jan 28).
Participation in movie making is not required to attend the
movie nights!
