Seamless Video Expansion Shaping the Contour of Streams for Personalized TV

Is it possible to create an interactive experience that sustains viewers' emotional involvement with streaming media at the same time that it enlists their attention in determining the order of events? How does one integrate the fluid continuity of cinematic experience with the kinds of choice and control that hypermedia affords? We developed a technique called Seamless Expansion that takes advantage of advances in interactive technology and broadband networks to let streaming audiovisual content be modified without interrupting perceptual continuity. Seamless Expansion affords individuals the opportunity to personalize their interactive experiences while preserving the cinematic continuity that sustains audience engagement.
