Hi ppls,
The November 2000 issue of Scientific American has a bunch of articles on
digital entertainment. In Oz our issues are always late so it is the
current one here, but you guys will have to get it at a library or
back-order it.
There are 6 articles on the digital entertainment theme in there, but I
expect the last 2 would interest you folks most: a piece by the legendary
Alvy Ray Smith, "Digital Humans Wait in the Wings", and another by
Glorianna Davenport of MIT Media Lab, "Your Own Virtual Storyworld". I
found them interesting.
There is a little bit of the info online at http://www.sciam.com but only
enough to whet your appetite.
Hope 2001 treats you all well. (Funny, it feels the same as last year.)
Best wishes,
- Miriam
