Reflections by Sarah Kenderdine on the potential futures of knowledge exchange
I list a few examples below that I am involved with, most are experimental as opposed to consumable but that a great place to start for people like us!
Condition: we are out of our boxes, but less to zero travel is predicted.
One to many
- We just did this in Hong Kong, it has 1000s online, 300 people in screen space.
Few to few
- Another Hong Kong colleague who builds low cost systems has been doing these tests using 3D to 3D systems. He sent a wee video – replace the content in your mind.
Group to group
- I’ve long been talking about something called the ‘internet of big machines’ where large-scale embodied systems (of course I’m thinking about the ones in my universe but such a solution is scalable of course) are linked across the world for remote research collaboration for everything big data simulations, artistic work and immersive pedagogy. I have a lot of interest at one point in this by all the academic network providers but failed to push it through due to my general overload and country hopping agenda. Maybe now is the moment to revive this one! IoBM PDF attached.
