1. Accessibility and Inclusion
Computing in entertainment has led to the creation of tools and features that make content more accessible.
- Closed captioning for movies, TV shows, and videos
- Audiobooks and e-readers for visual impairments and learning disabilities
- Customizable controls and adaptive technologies in video games
2. Creativity and Innovation
Computers have greatly improved the possible quality of media, especially with the use of GCI in movies and editing.
- CGI and advanced graphics: Revolutionizing visual storytelling. Films like "Avatar" used motion capture to bring characters to life, while video games utilize high-resolution graphics for immersive experiences.
- Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): Creating new dimensions for interaction. VR headsets like Oculus Rift enable fully immersive virtual worlds, while AR apps like Pokémon GO blend digital elements with the physical world.
3. Short form content
Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts have greatly benefited society. They've:
- Provided greater access to online media for a wider audience, especially in developing countries.
- Reduced the barriers for uploading content, making it more accessible.
- Condensed information/media into more digestible chunks, more suitable for younger audiences.
