JAPAN: AICHI EXPO
THE FUTURECAST SYSTEM
One aspect of the Mitsui-Toshiba Pavilion that has become a focus of attention is the Futurecast System, a world-first in entertainment.
Every person who enters the theater gets a high-resolution digital full-face scan that is edited into the "film" in real time, so that everyone gets a role in the movie. A Toshiba supercomputer inserts the necessary information and presents the one-time-only film.
Go to the cinema and star in the film you're about to see
Futurecast at Mitsui-Toshiba Pavillon
May 24th update from a Wheii.com reader:
"Everyone gets edited into film? I think not. Groups of twenty (20) are admitted at a time and all are scanned it is true but, there are only eleven (11) characters in the movie. This should be pointed out to those waiting in line. Luckily I didn't wait long to find out."
