The "I's" have it.
While preparing for a presentation at the Beijing Film Academy's Advanced Innovation Center for Future Visual Entertainment, I considered what I would identify as the hallmarks of future visual entertainment (which could more appropriately be framed as "future sensory entertainment"). Being a fan of the Rule of Three, I settled on the following:
- Immersive
- Interactive
- Intelligent
Of course, I couldn't stop there (especially once I noticed the "I's" had it), so I brainstormed "I" words and quickly accumulated these additional hallmarks of future sensory entertainment:
- Imaginative
- Inciteful
- Inclusive
- Independent
- Indexed
- Industrial
- Inescapable
- Innovative
- Insecure
- Insidious
- Insistent
- Inspirational
- Instant
- Institutional
- Instructive
- Insubordinate
- Intangible
- Integrated
- Intense
- Intercepted
- Interconnected
- Internal
- International
- Interpretive
- Intimate
- Intimidating
- Intoxicating
- Intrusive
- Intuitive
- Inundating
- Invigorating
- Inviting
