affectiveCinema02 works on an improved hard and software version of affectiveCinema1 – navigation is still done by unconscious decision-making of the players using a GSR-sensor.AffectiveCinema2 is programmed with Max/MSP/Jitter and ColdFusion.
The new system is auto calibrating itself constantly. Every time a player delivers new sensor values these values are sent via the internet to get stored and personalized with a password number. Finally they get included in a calculation to update the threshold necessary for decision-making. These values can be used for later personal online information of the players.
The succession of clips is smooth, because adjoined sound atmospheres don’t get cut with the images. Starter-clips are always chosen by random after a small break. Every clip gets played only once per session. There is a total amount of 60 clips, of which different parts can be addressed in different situations. The total linear length is 35 minutes.
