Abstract

As multimedia technologies have progressed, it has become evident that a unifying vehicle would serve to give needed direction to research in the related disciplines. The Media Immersion Environment fills that role as an overarching, unifying framework. The engine within the MIE framework has evolved to become the integrated media system, a computer-based facility powering the convergence of multimedia technologies. As the integrated media system develops new, interrelated ways for humans to gather and manipulate information, these new ways fall under the abstract, centering vision of cooperative immersipresence: a controlled, customized multimedia universe. MIE will serve well as a national testbed for the future work of integrated media systems
