Computers are an odd sort of rational dream machine. The computer analyses any movements that take place in the field of vision of the cameras. It was capable of producing any imaginable sound. Unlimited control can be distracting. Trivialities can become obsessions.
Structures can very quickly and easily become complicated, obscure and self-referential.
Somehow, some of this control must be given away. The computer perceives the location of people, how much of their body is in motion, the relative intensity ,suddenness, or continuity of their movements, and the locations of greatest activity. Unless one has an absolutely clear idea of what one is trying to create, it all becomes a meaningless game played in an electronic playground.
