![]() It doesn’t help that Windows, no matter how hard it tried, was never user-friendly enough to work in a home theater. Our choice was a nice-looking product that didn’t work well or one that worked decently but wouldn’t fit anywhere near a home theater. The problem that came to light is that CE companies don’t know how to make computers, and computer companies can’t make consumer electronics products. Because a home theater personal computer is a true convergence between a consumer electronics product and a computer, both consumer electronics companies and computer companies were developing them. This all sounded appealing, but things rarely turn out how they sound. Instead, you can store movies on a hard drive and access them by remote. No more getting up to sift through CDs or DVDs only to find that the one movie you want to watch is missing. Everyone wanted to make them to get in on the market, and why not? The ability to put all of your home theater media in one box is incredible. It’s a friendly and extremely helpful center, and I’m so glad to be involved in it.” Leah Bleich, Film Studies and UCSB graduate.A couple of years ago, home theater personal computers were on the cusp of being the next big thing. As a film major, it’s exciting to see a space on campus where I can get the tools and support to experiment with different forms of media, pursue new projects, and get creative. It’s a collaborative, dynamic space, and everyone involved is so committed to enabling students to create media. ![]() “The AS Media Center is an amazing support every step of the way of the creative process.
