Starfire Video Prototype




The film is set in the year 2004 and features a protagonist interacting by voice, mouse, and stylus with a five-foot wide computer screen.



In addition to the film, the project also produced:

  • Tog On Software Design , which not only covers the film in intimate detail, but lays out several more equally thought-provoking scenarios, even if they were not enshrined in Celluloid .


  • Starfire, The Paper , published in the CHI Proceedings , outlining the rules followed in attempting to build a scientifically legitimate video prototype, as opposed to simply confabulating a fanciful, but non-implementable, vision.


The film was released as the Starfire video, in NTSC format, and later made available as part of a collection of Human-computer Interaction videos.
