COSM: A toolkit for composing immersive audio-visual worlds of agency and autonomy
Graham Wakefield, Wesley Smith · University of Michigan Library Repository · 2011
Spatial music can create immersive experiences of alternate realities. To what degree can this be expanded to the composition of immersive, navigable, audio-visual worlds? We present an integrated collection of extensions to the Max/MSP/Jitter environment to assist the tightly integrated construction of such worlds, designed for use within audio-visual virtual environments and other projects using spatial simulation. The perspective taken is that spatial composition can go beyond the specification of locations and trajectories to the composition of autonomy, agency and interactions.
