VR to help exten our understanding

Virtual Continuum

The Virtuality Continuum is a phrase used to describe a concept that there is a continuous scale ranging between the completely virtual, a Virtual Reality, and the completely real:Reality. The reality-virtuality continuum therefore encompasses all possible variations and compositions of real and virtual objects. The concept was first introduced by Paul Milgram.

Reality<--------------->Virtual Reality

The area between the two extremes, where both the real and the virtual are mixed, is the so-called Mixed reality. This in turn is said to consist of both Augmented Reality, where the virtual augments the real, and Augmented virtuality, where the real augments the virtual.

Reality    Augmented Virtuality    Augmented Reality   Virtual Reality

Human   Cyborg       Android         Robot

Mann's Continuum includes the level of degrees of mediation.

M = level of mediation

R = reality

In Class Mon Aug 27th

Welcome to ART 116 Time & Virtual Space

THRU YOU

What is this class about?

It is an overview on creating art considering the 4th & 5th dimensions.

Is this a 'computer class'?

No. Although we will definitely be using your laptops for class, this course focuses on how ALL art mediums interact with these two different dimensions.

* this area of art crosses over many areas so therefore has many names. some of the more popular names are: Digital Art, Inter-Media, Hybred Media, Multi-Media & Digital Media.

Can you name an art medium that has not intersected with the computer?

How does this class work?

Information for this class will come through this blog. You are expected to visit it frequently. I generally update the blog within 12 hours of class. 

The blog contains all the information related to the class including links to examples, a post on what will be covered each class, the syllabus, project details and links to useful websites.

Lets take a look at this site.

Why do I use these websites for class?

Lets talk about communication

What forms of communication do you use? Lets make a list.

Do you use different forms of communication for different types of information?

Do your parents have a different idea about what forms of communication to use and when compared to you?

Now make a list of the websites/Apps you frequent most.
 - what do each of these websites/Apps do for you? What communication problem are they solving?



Would you play Social Roulette?
