The Letter Concern 1: Most Academic Text is Frozen and Non-Interactive The free and fluid flow of ideas through citations are crucial to maximize academic and scientific discourse. In my PhD research at the University of Southampton I was surprised when I learnt the state of academic documents. These are either ‘frozen’ and archival PDFs… Continue reading January Project Letter

Reading in XR. User opens PDF document in Reader on the Apple Vision Pro, looks through it and along with citations indicated with [1], the user will see links to spatial layouts (of which there can be several) and they can click on one, for example <Spatial Demonstration>. This results in nodes of further information… Continue reading January Project Workflow

We will discuss the January Project, with a focus on the potential of Academic Posters in XR. The “January project,”is a concrete exploration of how a single letter could be authored, read, and experienced in XR. The notion to discuss today is that perhaps this letter can serve as test for how an academic poster can… Continue reading 12 Jan 2026

Discussion based on an XR session with David Millard on the use of XR nodes which could serve as spatial academic poster.

I have been invited pitch to a prestigious organization to further increase the credibility of this work to further grow our community and experiments. As such I’ll be sending a letter in PDF form to the person in question and this letter will also be viewable in XR.  I’ll be spending January building this capability… Continue reading The January Project

January Project This month’s project is presented here: The January Project. AI: Summary The session examined how documents—specifically letters—might function as active knowledge objects within XR environments, emphasizing the shift from static text toward spatially situated reading, interpretation, and action. Discussion focused on how environment, metadata, reader intent, and spatial arrangement can fundamentally change how… Continue reading 5 Jan 2026

AI: Summary The session explored how knowledge might move beyond static documents toward dynamic, spatial, and participatory forms, especially in XR. Discussion centered on whether we are approaching something like an “ultimate wisdom library,” not as a repository of answers, but as an environment where knowledge can be re-shaped, contextualized, and interacted with in ways… Continue reading 15 December 2025

If we expand our space for thought, we expand who we can be. Thinking and speaking aren’t the same operation,Most thinking runs fast, under the conversation,Statements form quickly, behind the scene,Pulled from the past, efficient, routine.This background thinking keeps life on track,But it mostly repeats what we already pack. Speaking is narrow, a thin output… Continue reading 2026 Welcome (lyrics)
