Tess Rafferty I have written and produced on over 500 episodes of television. I have also written a series of novels. And as a reader, I devour murder mysteries like they’re pie the day after Thanksgiving. Two years ago I started learning Ai filmmaking which made me curious about other emerging technologies and how they were… Continue reading Augmented Creativity: The Future Of Writing In XR

More than once, in faculty meetings or discussions with industry colleagues, I’ve heard a world-weary the AI genie isn’t going back in the bottle or a beleaguered it is very clever spoken with the resignation normally… Continue reading The Chloropyll Moment

Ken Pfeuffer It is now a normal part of everyday life that many of us interact with a wide variety of digital devices, often continuously. Smartphones, laptops, desktop PCs, tablets, smartwatches, TVs, smart glasses, XR headsets, video game controllers, smart speakers, and even cars and household robotic appliances—computing is everywhere. Not everyone uses all of… Continue reading The Growing Complexity of Everyday Devices

Sometimes it will appear very large and looming against the sky.

This is a world where readers interact far less with fixed, discrete texts authored by individuals, and instead receive… Continue reading After Documents

A more optimistic perspective sees AI in an assistant role,… Continue reading Authoring for AI

Review of what we have learnt in XR and how to progress beyond them. This discussion will contribute to our end of year overview. AI: Summary Tom Haymes articulates a fundamental challenge—after reading Ted Nelson, he’s increasingly frustrated with how paper-based metaphors limit XR work. He distinguishes between tools for “structuring books and papers” versus tools for “structuring ideas,”… Continue reading Nov 3 : eXtended Reality Thinking Review
