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.
You are my hero
Hello.
Love this site and the videos on spacial computing. Also love that you come from theatre. I am a musician first. I’ve tweeted this and put a link to it on Facebook. Are you on Twitter? Would be interested in following you. And how did the talk go at Arconf?
Thanks,
Michael
I jumped the gun. Arconf hasn’t happened yet. Good luck!

Yep, if there’s anything the computer community needs as it tries to branch out into the rest of the world… it’s people with experience in the rest of the world.

Congrats! can you get your hands on a video of your presentation at the conference?

I believe they’ll be releasing videos sporadically throughout the year at fora.tv:
