I’d love to share my VR Master’s Thesis, completed May ’19
✨Developing Embodied Familiarity with Hyperphysical Phenomena✨graycrawford.com/thesis
a culmination of VR prototypes + philosophical essays on
🌌spatial intuition with novel physics
✍️bodily ownership+representation
Working on some VR visual programming UI with the #VisualEffectGraph
Interested in how particle-based wires can be "displays" of the data they carry, or reactive to the hand as input
Currently diving into
guiding #VisualEffectGraph particles
with my @LeapMotion hands
using @aman_gif's MeshToSDF converter
Already seeing *so many* places where this can go; stoked to explore further
loved sharing these ‘wide view’ explorations of iMessage history! 💬
hints at how spatial OSs give so much room to spread out
there’s so much personal meaning embedded across innumerable conversations
I’m stoked how XR can let us recall their breadth
Friends!
@aman_gif and I built a system for exploring neural-network-generated images, maneuvered by your hands in real-time
Traversing bigGAN's high-dimensional space of pseudo-real images is enthralling, like divination via movement, so we called it XOROMANCY
I’m working on using my Apple Watch for haptics in VR + @LeapMotion
There’s potent sensory flexibility here, seeing the collision at the fingertip but feeling it at the wrist — repetition likely fusing them more
I fully expect Apple to use wrist haptics in their headset AR push
