Excerpt: The Aspen Movie Map was a revolutionary hypermedia system developed at MIT by a team working with Andrew Lippman in 1978 with funding from ARPA. Features The Aspen Movie Map allowed the user to take a virtual tourtravel surrogatelythrough the city of Aspen, Colorado. It is an early example of a hypermedia system.A gyroscopic stabilizer with four 16mm stop-frame film cameras was mounted on top of a car with an encoder that triggered the cameras every 10 feet. (The distance was measured from an optical sensor attached to the hub of a bicycle wheel dragged behind the vehicle.) The cameras were mounted in order to capture front, back, and side views as the car made its way through the city. Filming took place daily between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to minimize lighting discrepancies. The car was carefully driven down the center of every street in Aspen, to enable registered match cuts. The film was assembled into a collection of discontinuous scenes (one segment per view per city block) and then transferred to laserdisc, the analog-video precursor to DVD technology. A database was made that correlated the layout of the video on the disc with the two-dimensional street plan. Thus linked, the user was able to choose an arbitrary path through the city; the only restrictions being the necessity to stay in the center of the street; move ten feet between steps; and view the street from one of the four orthogonal views.A Quick and Dirty Animation System rendering of AspenThe interaction was controlled through a dynamically-generated menu overlaid on top Books, , Laserdisc~~Books-Llc, 999999999, Laserdisc, Books Llc, 1156517931, General Books LLC, , , , , General Books LLC<
