Group Project

This group project was a lot of fun to work on-- I know very little about artificial intelligence but watching the movies gave me a new appreciation of it. The three movies that my group watched were Tron: Legacy, Eagle Eye, and Stealth. I chose Tron: Legacy as my film, mostly because Daft Punk composed the soundtrack and I absolutely love them. The concept itself is very interesting: the creation of a digital world composed entirely of information that takes the form of light cycles (motorcycles that mold to your body, composed of digital information) and computer programs that take the form of human avatars. The world is ruled over by C.L.U., the human avatar of the original creator Kevin Flynn who staged a coup and wrestled control of the world from Flynn. He aims to enter the human world through the portal that Flynn's son Sam has created by accidentally entering the world. The prospect of perhaps having this technology become plausible is very exciting, even if it's highly unlikely. Working with my group members was great-- I was lucky to have tech-savvy people in my group so we were able to craft in what my opinion was a very efficient presentation. It was a great way to end the semester!
