So Spatial Computing made a bit of a splash in the AR community, and I’ve been getting some really great feedback from a lot of people. In fact, I even got invited to talk about the work at arconf!
http://america.arconf.com/2010/speakers/
It’s a 10 minute talk – so I’m trying to really pare down what I need to talk about. I’ve brain stormed a lot of stuff that can’t possibly fit into 10 minutes — here are a few things I want to cover:
- A clear definition of Spatial Computing, and how it is related to AR
- Some way to demonstrate how this interface paradigm operates
- The culture of the screen — and how it interfaces with the human body
- The culture of 3d (dance, theater, etc…) and what tools we can borrow
- How to use 3d composition and narrative design to evoke visceral emotions in a human body
- Why AR companies should be hiring dancers
- How to approach 3d as a creative medium, and why approaching 3d from 2d is simply wrong
- Where VR is today and how it got there
I think my next step (after a site redesign… bout half way done…) is building / collecting visual material and physical gestures to help demonstrate what I’m talkin about.
