“Featuring a future concept by design collective NAU, this spec teaser short film reveals an evolution in computing interaction, within a setting inspired by the penultimate scene from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Starring that film’s lead actor, Keir Dullea; “2011” was developed over a two year period. Live action was filmed multi-camera, against greenscreen atop a backlit plexi floor on a shoestring budget. Mr. Dullea was then integrated into an entirely digitally created CG set rendered at 1080HD.
The Immersive Cocoon itself, is not a commercial product. It is a concept study; an idea to push the envelope and provoke a new conception of interface technology.”

Okay, so people gravitate toward information that confirms what they believe, and they select sources that deliver it. Same as it ever was, right? Maybe, but the problem is arguably growing more acute, given the way we now consume information—through the Facebook links of friends, or tweets that lack nuance or context, or “narrowcast” and often highly ideological media that have relatively small, like-minded audiences. Those basic human survival skills of ours, says Michigan’s Arthur Lupia, are “not well-adapted to our information age.
