MIT IAP '06
Visions of the Future:
Screening and Making Concept Videos

During the first two sessions of this activity, we will show research and concept videos that demonstrate visions for computing in the home and workplace of the future. We will start with videos from 1980 and work our way to the present day, studying both the themes and the styles of the video presentations.

Interested participants will be encouraged to individually or in teams create their own thought-provoking and entertaining videos that show compelling visions of how technology can improve our lives. House_n: MIT Home of the Future staff and students will be available as advisors. Participants may use storyboarding, video editing, still photography, Photoshop hacking, and possibly even actual programming to create interface mockups. Participants who complete videos will be encouraged to submit them to the Seventh International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing's video program, and the videos will be debuted at the end of IAP and shown in subsequent years.
