Components of Environment. The environment will be composed of: Initial Environment. Visually the environment is imagined as, for the initial use before customizing the environment, a rectangular desk overlaid the user’s physical desk (brief alignment process with guide to make it correct on first use), with a basic flat grey background, basic floor and various… Continue reading Interactions & Interfaces

Multi-View Desk
The Design Challenges : tldr Design challenges for working in XR with text includes use of space, legibility and physical affordances. The suggestion made here is therefore to provide a view of text in space for a Map type view with a plain background and to use the physical desk in XR, particularly for a… Continue reading Multi-View Desk
Text in Space
An initial question we need to address, if not fully answer, is how to show text in space. We talk about Knowledge Objects in Volumes but do we want to see text in boxes? Conceptually this is at least partly how we see the knowledge. As Mark Anderson posted in Slack, there are many types… Continue reading Text in Space
Authoring in XR (27 Jan)
AI: Summary The meeting focused on conceptualizing authoring in XR environments, particularly examining how to structure and interact with textual and knowledge elements in spatial contexts. Key discussions centered around memory palaces, spatial hypertext, and the balance between structured and exploratory approaches. The group debated whether to focus on present technological limitations or future possibilities,… Continue reading Authoring in XR (27 Jan)
Bob Horn Notes Jan 2025
Bob Horn’s notes regarding his Mapping Hypertext Presentation. Frontier for the group: understanding that for communicating to others the basic unit to start with is the sentence…the complete declarative sentence. This is what is described in Chapter 3 of Mapping Hypertext as structured writing, and information mapping. Understanding that any sentence that purports to describe something, an object or… Continue reading Bob Horn Notes Jan 2025

Text in Non-Euclidian Space (13 jan)
AI: Summary The meeting explored non-Euclidean geometry in the context of XR spaces, discussing how moving beyond traditional spatial constraints could enhance human communication and understanding. Key themes included the psychological and physiological impacts of non-traditional spaces, the relationship between space and language, and the potential applications in scholarly and creative work. The discussion highlighted… Continue reading Text in Non-Euclidian Space (13 jan)
