TURNING POINT: Experiment 03 - In-Formation(Ubiquitous).

Having rigged a series of ActionScripts in Flash to enable multiple camera feeds into FLARToolkit, it occurred to me to revisit my blog, particularly focusing on the literature surrounding the definition of my problem space.


Previously i have been quoting the idea of a read-write environment with vague allusions to the Klein Bottle and Escher's hands drawing. I previously argued that these two examples reflect an environment that can describe a metamorphic concept of space and place, that one change results in another which consequently alters the former ad-infinitum. This metamorphosis occurs, as i had argued, because of the recency and updatability of information that is overlaid onto our habitat. 

Escher, Drawing Hands

Klein Bottle

What was not envisaged was that the pilots in augmented reality can reflect a literal construction of metamorphic space;- assemblies where space turns upon itself much like the Klein Bottle. What if stairs can literally turn into itself once you reach a platform, alike Escher's stairs? What if reflection were distorted (a front view presented as a side view etc)? What if reflection was a reflection of a reflection, like standing in an enclosed mirrored box? See below for new pilot on the Moebius Effect.
