With the widespread growth of the internet and increasing speed of broadband will our future movie/film/tv experiences be experienced through the internet ? Well yes and - already a lot of people have been viewing media in this way for quite a while. Services like google tv , apple tv, Netflix are precursors in a major shift to Internet based film and video. Well is that an imporatant development in the future of moving image or simply an address change ?

This type of fusion opens up possibilities for more interaction with moving image. Imagine a possible hybrid of gaming and movies. What if we could control movies, choose what we see rotate camera angles, skip between charachters at different times. I have been developing a artistic/technology project around similar concepts and recently stumbled across these cool 360 degree interactive panaromic videos from a Vancouver based company. Will this be the way we can view movies even events in the near future. I'm betting yes.
