UNF research documents the development of real-time cinematic systems across AI, XR, somatic puppeteering, computational creativity, and documentary experimentation. From a small lab in Cochabamba, Bolivia, we build creature pipelines, sensor-driven worlds, neural performance systems, and platform-agnostic virtual characters that respond to bodies, environments, memory, and emotion in real time. These research logs function as a living archive of experiments, failures, breakthroughs, and evolving ideas around cinema, intelligence, embodiment, and non-human storytelling.
