How to present Kineto

pKineto#promotion §

• “Sync” might be simpler than “Synchronization”

• “Is face-to-face the best? Surprising reasons why 75% of Tokyo University students are satisfied with online classes.”

• From “Online Classes Transforming Universities: Education Inflation Born in the COVID-19 Pandemic”#tokyouniversity#onlineclasses#bunshunonline

• Important to consider the arrangement of stories for teachers

• It’s important to remember that the discussion about one-sidedness causing loss of concentration and the importance of active learning is a very important one.

  • It tends to be forgotten.

• Kineto Whiteboard Interpretation

• Interesting points:

  • Adding a new dimension of time
  • A strange phenomenon where the “context” gradually becomes clear

Time and Space §

• “Space”

  • Removed the barrier of distance and made dialogue possible without sharing physical space: phone calls -> Zoom
  • Deliberately created spatial constraints to create a sense of shared space: spatial.chat
  • Enabled a hybrid of face-to-face and remote interaction: AR

• “Time”

  • Removed the barrier of time and made dialogue possible without sharing the same timeframe: letters/Line
  • Deliberately created temporal constraints to create a sense of shared time: NicoNico -> Kineto
  • Enabled a hybrid of synchronous and asynchronous interaction: Kineto
    • Can Kineto be considered the AR of time? (Maybe an exaggeration)
    • Perhaps more like drinami or SR

• “Whiteboard” might be a better concept than “Classroom Videos”?

• The feeling of looking at the same whiteboard (blackboard) across time

  • An extension of Jamboard
    • Used when diverging thoughts
  • Makes communication easier to understand
    • Not writing on the video, but rather being part of the content
  • Imposing temporal constraints on Jamboard
  • Enabling “expansion”

axokxi I haven’t thought about the design yet, but the key points when explaining without using difficult words are:

• Delivering “classes” across time and space

• Being able to have a similar experience from “anywhere” and “anytime”

• Expanding the “space” in the temporal direction to provide a better experience

• “Classes” as an experience and space, rather than just instructional videos

• The image of sharing one video like a whiteboard, rather than watching videos individually on personal devices

• From a teacher’s perspective, analytics of classes seem quite interesting as a sub-function

• Catchphrase

  • “Connecting classes beyond time”

• Challenges

  • Want to explain the concept of elastic synchronization easily
    • Graphs are great for visualization in discussions, but they might not be suitable for quick understanding
    • Want to avoid the association of “graphs” -> “science” -> “scary” -> “hard to understand”
  • Pseudo-synchronous interaction like NicoNico has sufficient value, but don’t want it to be seen as the essence
    • Want to convey that elastic synchronization is the true novelty
    • If elastic synchronization can be expressed in a more understandable way than graphs, this problem might be solved
    • GIFs might be good

• Need a shared drive folder for sharing materials

• Miscellaneous notes on what to create:

  • Explanation page
    • Prioritize ease of use, use Scrapbox for now
    • Might create a website in the future
  • Slides for the Untrodden Presentation (2/23)
  • Promotional artwork
  • Images/text for the App Store

• Need to start with the basics

• Establishing a distinction between the front and back

  • Philosophical discussions can be done in the back, like using notes
  • In the front, things like “expanding through constraints” are not important

• Things created to attract users should list the benefits from the user’s perspective

• Regarding promotion

  • Consider using expressions like “High school students created ~~” or not- Well, I guess I’ll use it.

• The expression “connecting beyond time” seems interesting.

• In online classes, there is a perspective that “recreating existing classes” is slow.

  • Here has a very similar context.

  • Space affects the quality of time management, but space is not essential. It might be better to abstractly consider remote work and gathering, and reaffirm their purpose.

• Here

• Yesterday, I took an online class for the first time, and I realized that I absolutely need three monitors: one for watching the video, one for the chat screen, and one for doing my work and taking notes.

  • Kineto combines these three into one.
  • (Reminds me of an iPhone launch event, haha)
  • (blu3mo) I was a little surprised because I didn’t have the perspective that there is value in consolidation.
