Aspects of Virtuality

* what are the qualities of virtual space? what does it mean to be virtual?

* where do we see virtual space overlap society?



VR to help extend 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

V = virtual reality

 

Traditional example of mediated reality. Viewing the world through the machine(camera)

What are Vector Graphics?

Vector graphics are a purely virtual form of drawing. It is mathematically based.

There are many file types that support vector graphics. 

The most common file type is the SVG (scalable vector graphic).  All the digitally based production technology in the FabLab, like the Laser Cutter, C-N-C router, and 3D printers utilize the SVG file type.

[Assigned - Mon Nov 2nd]

[Due - Mon Nov 9th]

Vector Image in Wood

description:
For this project you will be creating a BxW drawing that will be converted into a vector graphic and etched in wood. 

1. Using a sharpie create a pattern or drawing or abstraction in a 5" x 5" square on a piece of paper.

2. Convert the image into a vector graphic using Adobe Capture CC. 

3. Upload the file to the class "Art116 Vector Images" Google Photos Album

4 . Repeat the process six times

Things to consider:

Your image will be cut out of a 5x5 inch square. The drill bit is about 1/8” thick so details smaller then that need to be removed or made bigger. The image will need to be in two colors only black and white. The router will etch the black lines into the wood. The white is the wood.

What’s Due:

Six BxW SVG files up in the class 'Art116 Vector Album' in Google Photos
