Digital media artist and filmmaker Karen Palmer talks about her interactive parkour film SYNCSELF2. This project is a transmedia neurogame that portrays the multi-dimensional process of transcending fear, in which the film experience is determined by the user's level of focus. Karen discusses her experience of developing an interactive film that puts the viewer at the centre of the experience, and gives useful insights about producing and writing for a project that involves wearable technology.
