Description

The profile of the new professional in the audiovisual industry, both from a point of view of creation, and from the point of view of management and realization, in many cases involves the incorporation of new methodologies and technologies that support new production formats . In this subject, different techniques, technologies and trends are worked on with the main objective of offering technical and theoretical training to the student. At the same time, it aims to encourage and guide the student in the creation of different audiovisual and/or interactive products in a non-conventional format.

In the first unit of the subject will work both the theory of videomapping and the different tools of videomapping with the aim of learning to design projects that make use of the projection of moving images on non-orthogonal surfaces, taking into account it takes into account both the technical concepts of projection planning and the possibilities of interconnection of the different tools.

In the second unit of the subject, the study of different input capture and interaction elements is proposed, as well as the analysis of the possibilities in terms of human-computer interaction for the generation of immersive interactive experiences . We will also work on the analysis of different interconnection formats of these using standard protocols for interconnection with other devices specific to the audiovisual world such as MiDi, OSC or DMX.

During the last unit we will link the work done in the different units to make and design a complex interactive assembly.

Evaluation system

The grade of each student will be calculated following the following percentages:

A1. Group work: Warping exercise: 7,5%

A2. Group work: Design of interfaces for projection control: 7,5%

A3. Group work: Three-dimensional model calibration with real projection: 7,5%

A5. Group work: Chomesthetic system design: 7,5%

A6. Group work: Reactive system design with sensors: 7,5%

A8. Individual work: Final report of the final project: 12,5%

A9. Individual exhibition: Evidence and defense of the final project: 12,5%

A10. Exam: Topic 1: 19%

A11. Exam: Topic 2: 19%

Final grade = A1 0,075 + A2 0,075 + A3 0,075 + A5 0,075 + A6 0,075 + A8 0,125 + A9 0,125 + A10 0,19 + A11 0,19 

 

Considerations:

  • An activity not delivered or delivered late and without justification (court summons or medical matter) counts as a 0.

  • It is the student's responsibility to avoid plagiarism in all its forms. In the case of detecting plagiarism, regardless of its scope, in some activity it will correspond to having a grade of 0. In addition, the teacher will communicate the situation to the coordination of the degree so that applicable measures can be taken in terms of disciplinary regime.
