IMM is about people using interactive technology to empower, entertain, collaborate and educate. We make 3D animations and web applications, online magazines, podcasts, videos and video games. And that's not all. Please take some time to browse through the site and get to know some of the people, projects and ideas that power IMM.

Mike Martinovic, Associate Professor

Dr. Martinovic's research interests are computer science and interactive computing, including information retrieval, artificial intelligence and computing for education.

Interactive Media

Digital media have led to new methods of communication that affect how we work, play, and see ourselves and our environment. When digital media combine with interactivity and new means of distribution such as CD, DVD, and the Internet, the result is interactive multimedia. This course develops the student's understanding of interactive media and its relationship to digital media. It explores interactivity, its design, and production, including delivery formats and digital distribution systems. Students develop a project in their chosen area. This course uses critiques of individual student work, readings, and discussion to examine the evolving formal criteria and social implications of this work.

Conductor Hero

Guitar heroes, lay down your axes. The Virtual Maestro Interactive Conducting Kiosk lets you conduct an entire orchestra using a Nintendo Wii-mote. Designed and built by a team that included Teresa Nakra, assistant professor of music, and Chris Ault, assistant professor of interactive multimedia, the kiosk has appeared in prominent concert halls across the U.S.and will soon head to Europe. Watch the video to see it in action.
