Sona Research was awarded a 2008 National Science Foundation CreativeIT Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER), grant #0742297. Scott Snibbe of Sona Research is co-Principle Investigator with Dr. Christof Bregler, founder of New York University’s Movement Research Group.
The grant, titled “The Grammar of Immersive Interactive Narrative” supports the development and documentation of a formal Human Computer Interface (HCI) language, along with procedures and technologies for emotionally impactful and educationally powerful social immersive media involving camera/projector interactive systems. In addition, the grant will support human-computer interaction studies to measure the emotional impact of immersive interactivity compared to a non-interactive immersive experience and basic research and prototype development for new techniques for immersive narrative interaction.
