All of that makes it sound like a terribly earnest read, but this novel is a reminder of how fiction can be an ideal space for exploring philosophical questions about guilt, morality, and what it means to live a “good” life. This is a book about toxic masculinity, about sexual assault, about casual sexism, and about being complicit even when not the worst offender. Louise Finch’s debut novel, The Eternal Return of Clara Hart (Little Island, £8.99), deftly manages to revisit the same day over and over without it feeling repetitive, as Spence attempts to change the course of events and slowly realises that Anthony is not quite the “good friend” he’s believed him to be. Louise Finch's novel, The Eternal Return of Clara Hart, uses the idea of a time loop to pose all sorts of profound questions. I believe in wrongly wired brains and emotional breakdowns, and both those options are looking plausible.” As the day continues to repeat, though, he starts looking for a solution – will saving Clara be enough to snap him out of this time loop? Initially he chalks his memories up to a bad dream: “I don’t believe in mystical precognition or looping time.

The next morning, Spence wakes up to the same set of events – Clara hitting his car, Clara alive. The night ends in chaos, as Anthony’s parties often do, but this time it’s serious – Clara runs out into the road into the path of a speeding car, and dies. Given her hostility and generally edgy attitude, he’s surprised to see her make an appearance at his best friend Anthony’s party that evening – and even more surprised to see her venture upstairs with him. In addition, we have evaluated our system in a television studio.“Ever since Mum, I’ve known the truth – everyone I know is walking around with a secret expiry date.” It’s been a year since Spence lost his mum in an accident, and the anniversary gets off to a bad start when his classmate Clara Hart hits his car in the school car park. Augmented recording is a foundational component for the UCLA Hypermedia Studio's research into the use of sensor networks in film and video production. In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of the first part of our embedded film set environment, the augmented recording system. A real-time version of our system would allow sensor data to trigger camera movement and cue special effects. For example, such data can help define a new level of seamless integration between computer graphics and real world photography. Later, editors, graphics artists and programmers can view this data in synchronization with film and video playback. During a filming of a scene, sensor data such as light intensity, color temperature and location are collected and synchronized with each film or video frame. Unobtrusive sensors are deployed on a film set or in a television studio and on performers. in augmenting film and video footage with sensor data.

In this paper, we investigate the novel application of sensor networks to the film industry. Due to their small size and relative ease of deployment, sensor networks have been utilized by zoologists, seismologists and military personnel. With the advent of tiny networked devices, Mark Weiser's vision of a world embedded with invisible computers is coming to age. We also learned that the use of mobile webcasting for home decoration raises new challenges in order to provide unobtrusive and glance based interaction. It shows that mobile webcasting provide continuous and stable streams of such a quality that it can be presented for home decoration, and that the video can be combined with real time sensor data to generate aesthetically interesting hybrid media. We present the result of a technical evaluation, which was conducted during two weeks of deployment. Drawing on the approach of Research through Design we present a study of people who have occasional access to highly appreciated geographical locations, a design instantiation and prototype called LiveNature, as well as a system implementation. In order to invent and investigate new approaches for the use of enjoying live video, we suggest a combination of emerging mobile webcasting with artistic ambient video, which would enable a form of user generated broadcasts from individually selected cherished places for home decoration.
