Abstract
#Scanners is a bio-responsive digital arts experience that blurs the lines between cinematics and neuroscience. Using a commercially available wireless EEG device, #Scanners presents a specially commissioned film that is dynamically altered both visually and aurally in accordance with the viewer’s levels of Attention and Meditation, as calculated by the EEG device. The system has been demonstrated to audiences across Europe and has allowed us to explore design opportunities around both extents of, and awareness of control with otherwise passive multimedia experiences. At CHI2016, viewers were able to experience the #Scanners system and watch their own personalized version of the film.
