I would like to think that I would have made a good mom, and a good housewife. Perhaps 30 or 40 years ago I would have looked something like this.
My friend Michael Naimark is exploring new ideas for virtual reality experiences, in collaboration with Google and other researchers. To discuss this work, we got together with two other colleagues, Steve Gano and Jim McKee -- with whom we worked at the Apple Multimedia Lab in the eighties, pushing the envelope on related questions.
We started with a tour of the historic Sentinel Building in North Beach, home of American Zoetrope -- where Francis Coppola worked on many cinematic masterpieces like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. We checked out the underground screening room and sound mixing room where some of that work took place, then headed upstairs to Michael and Jim’s studios, for a wonderful conversation about the new VR frontier.
Michael and his colleagues are researching how people are represented in virtual reality. Their first experiment at Google’s “Big Chairs” Park led to some helpful guidelines on how to film people for VR, by using different camera angles and distances.
They’re also investigating ‘hyper-images’ that resemble a group of people, but that are shot at different times and composited together to create both ‘credible’ and ‘incredible’ pictures. To enable more experiments like these, Michael is developing ‘IMU VR’, a new type of camera that could make it easier for communities to tell their stories in VR. More on this later.
It was great to reconnect with my colleagues and brainstorm these ideas together. It felt like the good old days, and the creative juices were flowing all over again ...

My hubby's lil' email gift to me.
He really knows so much...about stupid stuff...like this algorithmic mathematical art, I like it!
I danced in front of my webcam. This time the online dance by Bellingham's Presence Studio. A bit different from dancing on that gymnasium like floor, at Presence; before the virus shut down things like dance floors.
Later I created my own Zoom Conference of one person to take this photo. I had lights flickering in that old bike wheel; a memento that's rolled across USA.
I'm holding a camera here, but during the dance, I was just dancing. For the dance, the screen was divided up into 18 squares each with a different home dance in it. Some dancers were outside. Others in the living room and so forth. I think there were 2 screens full of 18, or so, dancers.
A good innovation, but not quite like being immersed in the experience. It's more limited on the screen. Maybe someday, full immersion technology.
My studio apartment felt limiting as well. The thought of putting my webcam into the long hallway, outside my apartment came to mind. Dance, or run, up and down the hallway. Maybe I could invite my neighbors, but would that be proper social distancing?
We need to innovate until get a vaccine, or some other kind of cure, besides bleach (don't laugh, it can be used outside the body, like disinfecting the shower). Dancing may come back, but with a lot of spacing between people. I'm okay with that, I'm very visual and not that touch oriented anyway. I'm also far sighted so I can see people fine; from 20 feet or more.
In spite of cities cancelling their park dances and things like the Pride Festival most likely cancelled, outdoor dancing could be a way to maintain spacing. Just learn new ways to dance. Moving feels good and there is still the visual appeal.
Indoor dancing can work also. Crowded bar spaces might have to wait till a better cure, but smaller groups of folks who remain well spaced can work.
I have enjoyed the excitement of a crowded dance floor, but that may have to remain on hold; for a while. There are a few times when I felt like I was in people's way; when dance floors got really crowded with couples and groups (some folks would say cliques). Most dancers have been friendly tho, either ignoring me or interacting. I sometimes have gone with a friend and we did get quite a few hi fives. I miss those experiences. Maybe a way can be found to bring that back.
Dancing with greater spacing does take some getting used to. There's the economics of it as well. Smaller crowds means less money for establishments to pay the rent. The economy has to adjust also.
Hopefully innovation can help us and maybe a vaccine wouldn't be too far off.
