bullet list

so heres a bulleted list of a lot of the stuff im working towards. this should at least give an overview of all the notes and thoughts ive been collecting the last couple of weeks regarding my thesis. more later im sure.

  • Main pieces of project
    • A system with POV 24/7 video, publishable to the web.
    • A UI for the end user, as the time and energy required to sort through such a glut of data/video is overwhelming.
    • In addition to the system, the narrative possibilities for such a system are extremely strong and I want to focus on them as well.
      • See Applications, I plan to focus on the Bloggers and Hyper Real Fiction Sections
  • System
    • Treat movies as photos, grouped by time/location
    • By incorporating a button with the camera, the author is able to tag moments during his/her day as 'important'. Software can analyze video for changes in scenery and lighting which further breaks apart video into separate scenes.
    • Can display pieces of movies as stills on the web within a DHTML interface.
      • Easily tweaked
      • Requires no plugins or special code
    • Use MyLifeBits codebase for publishing, UI and movie analysis/processing.
      • Must confirm camera format and ability to process frames within movies. (Requires non-web coding. Red flag.)
  • Applications
    • Bloggers
      • Travel diaries>
