Abstract
A user’s interaction with a film typically involves a One-Way Affect (1WA), in which the film being consumed has an effect on the viewer. Recent advances in physiological monitoring technology, however, have facilitated the notion of a Two-Way Affect Loop (2WAL), in which a film piece can be dynamically affected by a viewer’s physiology or behavior. This paper outlines an agenda for further investigating 2WAL, setting research questions and the influence of related research areas. We discuss key themes such as experience design, individual differences, physiology, and social considerations, and present our initial investigation into this area through a prototype system that dynamically adjusts film content based on EEG data.
