PANOPTIKON
Hofmann, Petr Eric ; Smetana,, Matěj (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
The chosen output for this master's project is the creation of a 360° animated video, where the image recording is captured in all directions simultaneously. The nature of this video lies in allowing the viewer, based on their activity, to look around the environment of the ongoing action and immerse themselves in the video's environment. Each viewing of the video is unique because the viewer never sees the entire scene at once; everything around them happens in parallel, providing a nonlinear film experience not only from the narrative side but also from the visual side. The final 360° video is interactive, requiring the viewer's active participation to utilize its full potential, as most of the additional content remains hidden without activity and in a static state of the video. This video format shares the property of interactivity with the environment of digital games and can be understood as a hybrid connection of these two media. In terms of content, the project processes Jeremy Bentham's concept of the Panopticon, an architectural object where all its inhabitants should be under constant surveillance. The narrative follows the activities of five characters who, although separated from each other in isolated rooms and are under constant surveillance by the viewer in the observation room, manage to escape from the architectural construct after several unintended mistakes. The main function of the project is to emphasize visual elements strongly from both the content and formal perspectives and thus provide the viewer with an extraordinary experience

Autopsy
Hofmann, Petr Eric ; Záhora, Zdeněk (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on digital games, namely the creation of game objects and virtual space. An existing room was used as the main object, which was the auditorium at FFA. The outcome of this project is a computer app bringing users the possibility to explore the digital model of the auditorium. The digital technologies are providing us with a completely different point of view regarding the already existing room. The video game's interactive principles allow us to look closer at the image layers, called textures, responsible for the final look of a game object. The emphasis of this project is to communicate mainly with the help of visual language which will reduce the need for greater amount of textual information towards the user. The content can be unlocked by navigation through an intuitive user interface, an ingame tool to control the play. The title "Autopsy" was chosen as an allegory to the process of finding and gaining new information and experience thanks to the dismantling of a researched subject just to its main core. The autopsy room is not just a room, where the action happens, it is the action itself.
