apart from his visual blog (created in flash/actionscript), anthony rostvold is exploring what he calls “projective reality.”
some kind of web3.0 version of j.berger’s ways of seeing…
he defies it being called virtual reality…
it’s not a created reality but a captured reality…
he defines it as,
the transformation of a different place or time of the world or the state of things as they exist, as opposed to an idealistic, virtual, or a notional idea. it is a thing that is actually experienced or seen; and a thing that exists in fact, that has a quality of being lifelike or true.
anthony is simply,
looking at how we see, how we look at an image, what makes an image life like and how can we use it as a communication device…
the idea is simple…somewhat…
…live video, streaming from the internet from a different location…some measuring…all things based on the golden mean, the overall proj distance minus the h of the proj from the dist of the projector to the screen. thats where you find the distance that you need to stand away from the camera…
if you have a chance…view the podcast, vidcast…anthony’s video comes up at the end…apart from his dabblings with the golden mean and the fibonacci wachi stuff, this is good.
it won’t be long before we’ll be having live lectures in our classrooms by someone who is in china, buenos aires, paris…
…live conference meetings with one another while the one anothers are in different continents. shaking hands, exchanging information, sharing drinks. while actually not being there…whatever “not” means…
video conferencing will be so passe in the web3.0 classroom…
