Your next stop: the “Twilight Zone.” Now you choose what happens next.
The iconic science-fiction TV series is being resurrected with a new dimension, as digital video company Interlude has secured a deal with CBS to turn the series into a project marrying television with gaming.
Interlude is known for making videos that play like sophisticated choose-your-own-adventure films. The company’s tech first rose to popular prominence more than two years ago with a video revival of Bob Dylan‘s classic anthem “Like a Rolling Stone.” It allowed viewers to channel surf among 16 channels of different actors and reality-TV stars, all lip-syncing along with Dylan’s song.
The company has widened its scope since then, using its technology to help filmmakers, music artists and brands craft interactive online videos.
