We don’t necessarily hear much from ILMX. Much like their cousin company, Imagineering, they sort of wait for a groovy time to spring a really pleasant surprise on an unsuspecting audience. I’m not at all surprised by this as ILMX shows off how it’s autonomous interactors can collaborate with participants to create to create dynamic, interactive stories. Check out this video from Fortune Magazine.
I love how the robot goes through its protocol but still responds to the participants’ inputs. That is what a true interactors should be doing. There are of course glitches such as character inter-penetration and a certain amount of latency, but that does not matter. All the participant knows is that they are dealing with another “being” in the experience and they are in the driver’s seat for creating their own immersive story experience.
