Description
Sally or The Bubble Burst is an interactive DVD-ROM that uses speech recognition and synthesis to allow viewers to converse with famed 1930ís performer Sally Rand [played by Helen Pickett]. In three interactive ªzones,´ viewers manipulate a hypnotic performance of Sallyís notorious bubble dance, hear observations about the Depression from a chorus of objects [including two bubbles, a chair, a shawl and a radio] voiced by well known downtown performers Shelley Hirsch, Lisa Karrer, Judy Nylon, Eric Mingus, and Gregory Whitehead and speak directly to Sally in an interactive conversation using a microphone. A viewer can also use the keyboard to make Sally speak any text or change her attitude and expressions.
