Removing the constraints of physical time

• The goal of Exploration of Virtual Time is to eliminate the constraints of physical time, which can be seen as the Versatility of the timeline.

• It’s not necessarily exciting to be able to present information in a higher-dimensional framework.
  • Even if we could create a two-dimensional experience of time, it wouldn’t necessarily be satisfying in itself.
  • In fact, it might become more confusing and harder to understand.
• What is exciting is being able to present information in the optimal spacetime framework that suits the situation and preferences.
  • For example, if you dislike Turn-Based Communication, you might find ParallelTalk in a multidimensional time more enjoyable.
  • By considering a wider range of spacetime frameworks instead of simply copying the traditional physical time and space, we have more options to choose from.

• I feel like the resolution has improved recently (blu3mo).
  • Because there have been various concrete examples.
• What we need to do to “eliminate the constraints of physical time”
  • Premise: Think of it in terms of People, Interfaces, and the World.
    • 
  • Consider each part.
  • System part
    • Start with the assumption of The Ambiguity of the Difference between Virtual Time and Space.
      • This allows us to consider systems in cyberspace other than 2D and 3D space.
    • However, there are things that cannot be done with the current technology, so there are challenges.
      • If we are thinking of something like an extension of 3D space,
        • 4D Rendering, for example.
        • Physics simulator in 4-dimensional space, for example.
      • If we want to create a collaborative environment,
        • Something like CRDT.
          • I briefly talked about it in SGG Year-End LT Meeting 2022 Slides.
    • Questions like “What is Time-likeness?”, “What is Spatiality?”, “What is causality?” arise.
      • It’s interesting (blu3mo)(blu3mo)(blu3mo).
  • Interface part
    • 4D UI, for example.
      • Mechanisms that enable cognition beyond 3D.
    • Interfaces that transcend time.
    • ParallelTalk becomes complex and unmanageable without a good interface.
  • Human part
    • Evolution (?)

• To eliminate the constraints, I feel like there are two things to do.

  • Consider having a virtual timeline independent of Physical time.
    • rel: Virtual Time
  • Enhance the sense of immersion.
    • rel: Believability
  • In Discussion on Immersive Virtual Spacetime Axis, these two aspects were mixed up in my mind, making it confusing.

• Approaches to creating a sense of immersion

  • I actually don’t know what to do to achieve this.
  • It’s just on a conceptual level.
