To be there or not to be there that is the question
This document discusses the history and nature of virtual worlds. It defines virtual worlds as artificial environments that can be experienced through various media like books, videos, and video games. Virtual worlds let people experience a sense of "being there" through spatial immersion. While initially virtual worlds were represented through visuals like cave paintings, over time representations became more literal through literature and physical through places like theme parks. Modern virtual worlds allow for more interaction and define users' identities through their roles and relationships managed by the virtual environment's operators. The document examines how virtual and physical selves intersect and how virtual worlds shape perceptions of where people feel they are located.
The Life on the Screen (online identity)
This document discusses how online spaces and technologies allow people to construct and explore identities. It explores role-playing games like MUDs, where users can take on different personas. The creation of avatars and multiple online identities is seen as reflecting postmodern views of identity as unstable, relative and able to be reinvented. The online world provides an immaterial space where people can feel more comfortable projecting different aspects of themselves.
Second Life -brief introduction (my PhD project)
This document provides an introduction and overview of Second Life, a 3D virtual world. It discusses the creator's inspiration from cyberpunk literature. It describes some of the key aspects of Second Life, including how users can build and customize their virtual environments. It also discusses research on player typologies and behaviors in Second Life, such as how they socialize, represent themselves through avatars, and interact with others.
Who Gets To Digitize Whose Knowledge?
This document discusses issues around who has the right to digitize knowledge and how digitization can impact knowledge. It notes that while digitization makes information more easily shareable, it can also simplify and distort knowledge. Not all tacit knowledge can be explicitly documented and digitized, and even if possible, not all knowledge should be digitized. When digitizing knowledge, what is lost in translation? The document also discusses how certain indigenous knowledge is best kept within communities, as they have preserved it for thousands of years, and outsiders do not have the right or legitimacy to digitize and transform that knowledge.
Story is king
This document discusses the history and evolution of animation, including key people and companies such as Walt Disney, Hanna Barbera, and Pixar. It also covers trends in animation such as transmedia storytelling, games, and virtual reality. Specific Norwegian animated properties and characters are mentioned such as Thomas the Tank Engine, Pelle Politibil, and Kaptein Sabeltann. The document concludes with contact information for Frank Mosvold to discuss future opportunities in animation.
You like to watch movies?
The document discusses how to connect with audiences emotionally in stories and characters. It explains that audiences connect with characters they recognize themselves in, feel empathy for due to struggles like injustice or humiliation, see displayed humanistic traits of helping others, and admire for qualities like courage or leadership. The document then analyzes the emotional cores of movies like Finding Nemo and Shark Tale, pointing out how Nemo elicits more empathy and admiration from audiences. It also discusses developing the emotional core for a story idea about a character named Ella Bella Bingo.
Effect of Self-animated Avatars in Virtual Environments
This document outlines two experiments that investigate the effect of self-animated avatars in virtual environments. The first pilot study found that the presence of an avatar improved task performance for some users, depending on individual factors like gaming experience. A follow-up experiment aimed to account for individual differences and examine how immersion and task difficulty impact avatar effects. It used an object orientation matching task with variations in avatar presence, immersion level, and task difficulty. Results showed significance in some conditions, answering questions about how avatars influence user performance and experience in virtual worlds. Future work could explore other environments, tasks, and feedback methods.

Virtual reality Presentation
Virtual reality is a computer-simulated environment that can recreate sensory experiences like sight, sound, and touch. The history of VR began in the 1960s and has since been used in various fields like education, medicine, business, and the military. While VR offers many applications, it also faces challenges in causing simulation sickness and disorientation when users cannot see the real world. As the technology advances, VR is expected to become more integrated into daily life and human activities.
The Emerging Virtual Reality Landscape: a Primer
This document provides an overview of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), including their definitions and histories. It discusses how VR began in the 1960s and progressed through early prototypes in the 1970s-1990s. The modern era of VR began around 2011 with efforts by Valve, Oculus, and others. The document outlines the growing VR market potential in areas like gaming, film, education and more. Industry projections show rapid growth in VR users, revenues, and category spending over the next few years. It also maps the current VR landscape including studios, capture methods, engines/tools, distribution platforms, hardware types, input methods, and business models.
Virtual Reality
Virtual reality is a user interface that involves real-time simulation and interactions through sensory channels to immerse users in virtual environments. It has its origins in flight simulators from the 1950s and early prototypes in the 1960s, with commercial development beginning in the late 1980s. Current applications of VR include movies, video games, and education/training. Emerging technologies like Project Natal, CAVE systems, and the Nintendo Wii are pushing the boundaries of VR by enabling more natural physical interaction.

Rafael Brown (Digital Myths): Social VR: Creating Social Presence
As VR emerges onto the scene, the new trend is SocialVR. As a phenomena, SocialVR has emerged to combat the early tendency of VR to isolate the user. In an age where devices are Digital, Online, Connected & Shared, and where all VR/AR/MR devices will be online all the time. SocialVR and social growth across VR, AR and MR, is about creating Social Presence. We will explore the components that make up Social VR, and explore the path from Presence to Social Presence.

Morie frontiers nov2019
Virtual and augmented realities will continue to advance, allowing for more immersive experiences. Technologies like high resolution scanning, sophisticated virtual displays, and advanced artificial intelligence could enable the creation of highly realistic virtual humans and environments. However, issues around authenticity, data ownership, and the responsibilities of technology creators will need to be addressed as these virtual worlds become more integrated with physical reality. Future generations may experience reality in ways that are very different from today due to emerging technologies that continue to blur the lines between virtual and physical.
Straddling Between Two Worlds
This document examines self-identity in the virtual world and its implications for the real world. It discusses how in virtual worlds like Second Life, people create avatars to represent themselves and often take on different personas than their real selves. Studies show that people tend to behave according to the characteristics of their avatars. The lines between virtual and real identities are blurring as people spend more time in virtual worlds and conduct economic activities through their avatars. The document argues that from a Christian perspective, people's true identity and worth comes from being made in God's image rather than from any virtual or idealized self.
Negotiating multiple identities on the social web
Presentation on the fragmentation of online identities, the inadequacy of the personal branding metaphor and the idea of the multiverse as a new metaphor for thinking about online identity. For a transcript of the keynote, see this blog post: http://academic.stedwards.edu/socialmedia/blog/2011/11/16/negotiating-multiple-identities-on-the-social-web-goffman-fragmentation-and-the-multiverse/
Building Sites Around Social Objects - Web 2.0 Expo SF 2009
1) Social network theory focuses on links between people but does not explain what specifically connects particular groups of people.
2) Another theory argues that people connect through shared social objects, not just to each other. When social services fail to offer ways for users to create new social objects, the connections themselves become the object.
3) Successful services like Flickr, Delicious, and YouTube allowed people to create social objects around photos, bookmarks, and videos, respectively.

The document discusses key concepts related to virtuality, cyberspace, and the World Wide Web. It defines virtual reality, cyberspace, and the Web, explaining that the Web is part of cyberspace, which is a conceptual space experienced through electronically mediated communication. Virtual worlds and video games are described as the most advanced 3D Web "spaces."
The Real Opportunities Of Virtual Worlds
The document discusses the opportunities presented by virtual worlds. It argues that virtual worlds allow for better sociability, visualization, and dynamics compared to the real world. Specifically, they improve communications, social connections, navigation, sense-making, coordination, engagement, and understanding of opportunities. The document also discusses how virtual worlds will diversify in the future across dimensions like purpose, interface, user interaction, content production, fictional/non-fictional nature, real/imaginary space, and in/out of place experiences. Finally, it outlines innovation skills and abilities like mobality, influency, and emergensight that are emerging from virtual worlds and can benefit the real world.

Online Identity
This document discusses different interpretations of online identity, including anonymity and social networking. Regarding anonymity, it explores how people can create alternate online selves in virtual worlds like Second Life. Social networks instead focus on self-publication and affirmation within communities. The document also discusses both pros and cons of online identity, and suggests it may be a natural progression in human evolution towards becoming cyborgs that retain presence through technology.
Share Festival Networked Objects Manufacturing 031508.Key
This document discusses the concept of an "Internet of Things" where physical objects are connected to the internet and able to participate online. It describes how as more "things" are networked, they gain agency and ability to influence our experiences. The document also discusses "blogjects" which are physical objects that disseminate digital content online, and how this blurs the lines between the physical world and digital world. It provides several examples of projects where physical objects are networked and able to interact with people in novel ways.
數位民族誌
The document discusses digital ethnography. It covers several topics:
1. Digital ethnography takes a non-digital centric approach and considers both the digital and non-digital aspects of people's lives.
2. Principles of digital ethnography include multiplicity, non-digital centricness, openness, reflexivity, and attention to unconventional forms of communication.
3. Examples of digital ethnography research cover a range of topics from virtual worlds and social media to political economy, ubiquitous digital technologies, and posthuman perspectives. A variety of methods are used including participant observation, interviews, and analysis of digital traces.

The document discusses augmented reality and context awareness. It defines augmented reality as mixing real world and virtual objects to create a mixed reality. It explores ideas around augmented reality including simulations, virtual worlds, augmented virtuality, and using devices like Kinect. The document suggests augmented reality can provide freedom and redefine experiences through ambient, self, and event awareness. It examines interacting with augmented reality through devices, sensors, and virtual information overlay.
The Metaverse: Is it the Matrix Unfolding?
In recent years, the concept of the metaverse has gained tremendous traction, capturing the imagination of tech enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and the general public alike. As discussions around the metaverse intensify, parallels with the iconic science fiction film “The Matrix” become increasingly apparent. In this article, we delve into the metaverse phenomenon, examining its similarities and differences with the Matrix, and pondering the implications of a digital realm that seems to be converging with fiction.

For the sake of argument (this essay in particular), lets prete.docx
For the sake of argument (this essay in particular), let's pretend that
Sophia (Links to an external site.)
has discovered a fundamental truth about our concept of the soul: that it is, as she defined it,
the mind's essence
.For this essay, I'd like you to first take a deep dive into
defining
and
elaborating
on what that might mean
(to Sophia, then, as a consequence, to humanity) Then, I'd like you to take into consideration the technologies that have had the greatest impact on how the soul-as-mind's-essence idea expresses itself in our era. Can we have a "virtual afterlife"? A "digital soul"? Can we beat death? If we create nonbiological entities into which we put our identities, and, thus, that entity "thinks" and "feels" like it is "you," well, to what degree can we say that it is "you" and that it is a contemporary version of how Sophia defines the soul? Furthermore, do you think that is what Sophia means--a digital simulacrum of the self? I am hoping you consider how our civilization's ideas are profoundly influenced by our technological world, and that these philosophical questions only exist in the first place because we have invented tools that inevitably create problems for and probe into the most sacred spaces of human identity.
This essay should be 4.5 pages minimum and, as usual, MLA format.

Digital Art and Philosophy #1
In this original Digital Art and Philosophy class, we will become familiar with different forms of digital art and related philosophical issues. Digital art is anything related to computers and art such as using a computer to create art or an art display that is digitized. Philosophical aspects arise regarding art, identity, performance, interactivity, and the process of creation. Students may respond to the material in essay, performance, or digital art work (optional). Instructor: Melanie Swan. Syllabus: www.MelanieSwan.com/PCA

Art & Technology, 1950 to the Present, Day 1 Introduction
Art in the 21st century is created in the context of digital technology, embracing, critiquing, avoiding, and correcting its promises and pitfalls. This course focuses on art experiences that are immersive (puts you inside the art) and interactive (requires your participation), with special emphasis on experiences that combine sound, image, movement, and performance. Students will learn about the roots of immersive and interactive art in traditional mediums of painting, sculpture, installation, and performance art, as well as new media and digital art. The time frame is the 1950s to the present, with particular attention to the legacy of the Bauhaus (established 1919, so 2019 is the centennial) and the greatest of all interdisciplinary art and education experiments: Black Mountain College. We will consider themes such as: collaborating with technology, representing the self with avatars, plasticity, democratization of art-making, accessibility, modernism/postmodernism/metamodernism, minimalism, imaging the future, and utopia/dystopia.
Topics include: virtual reality, video games as art, immersive music experiences, multisensory immersive experiences, interactive museum and gallery installations, virtual worlds, immersive live theater, augmented and mixed reality, role of the artist, physical and virtual spaces, screens, 360-degree experiences, 2D and 3D, improvisation, machine learning/artificial intelligence. Artists include: Marina Abramović, Doug Aitken, John Akomfrah, Laurie Anderson, John Cage, Nick Cave, Chagall, Paige Dansinger, Char Davies, Critical Art Ensemble, Nonny de la Peña, Thomas Dolby, Elizabeth Edwards, Cécile B. Evans, Charity Everett, William Forsythe, Goro Fujita, Nona Hendryx, Lynn Hershman, Jenny Holzer, Hyphen Labs, Allan Kaprow, Yayoi Kusama, Sol LeWitt, Christian Marclay, Eva and Franco Mattes, Chris Milk, Nam June Paik, Maya Paris, Punchdrunk, Queer Technologies, Scott Snibbe, Stelarc, Camille Utterback, Yao Wang, Ai Weiwei.

Digital Narrative Theory & Practice: Recap
The document discusses how interactive technologies reflect human desires for engagement by allowing users to feel actively involved. It also references Walter Murch's concept of an aural spectrum for sound design and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's research on flow states, a feeling of full engagement and focus.
Digital Narrative: Player Choices, Fun, & Dilemma
The document discusses game design and playtesting. It covers topics like fun, flow, choices and decisions in game design. It also provides the payoff hierarchy for the Prisoner's Dilemma game and includes sample questions to gather feedback during playtesting, such as asking about the game's objective, how to describe it to others, and what could be improved. The goal of playtesting is to get feedback through an iterative process to identify what needs to change in the game design.
