LOS ANGELES, May 9, 2017 — Sense/Net today introduced Fullfield, a recording format and production system that captures a performance from the performer’s own position: binocular picture at eye level, binaural sound at the ear, head and body motion, touch, breathing and heart rate, recorded together on one timeline and played back on certified headsets and haptic garments.
“For twenty-nine years we have been trying to put the audience where the performer is standing,” said Maureen Vance, who founded the company with Gordon Pruitt in 1988 and is its chair. “Fullfield is the first time the recording has kept up with the idea.”
Fullfield titles are recorded with the FH-1 headpiece, a 410-gram rig built at the company’s workshop in Los Angeles, and the Field Suit, which measures pressure at 212 points on the body. The first eleven titles, among them a night on a squid boat out of San Pedro and a string quartet recorded from the second violin’s chair, are available from today.
Every Fullfield performer reviews the final cut before release and may withdraw consent at any point before release, under version 3 of the Sense/Net Consent Standard.
