From Keith Bennett
Film-making using computer game engines seems certain to expand as people explore the new freedoms of the medium (18 October, p 28).
I find it surprising that the film-makers have so far limited themselves to recording visual images. If the information were published in a format that could be viewed from a game engine a viewer could watch a scene from any viewpoint. A number of scenes could be run concurrently and the viewer would have to chose which to watch. A cocktail party or a battle scene could be explored from different angles. On second viewing, you might follow a minor character whose adventures intertwine with the main plot.
Perhaps film-making is only the beginning.
