Report 7/14
Teleperception
---> german version
Day 1:
SetUp:
Person 1 is wearing a stereoscopic camera and headmounted display (i-glasses), transmitting the video signal onto person 2 who is wearing a HMD herself.
Observation
1
The receiving person suffers from severe disorientation and feels insecure. The cognitive recognition of his/her sight seems to vanish.
The strong impact of the transmitted signal is hard to dicipher from one´s own vision.
Upon interaction with the transmitter: tossing a ball towards the transmitting person, both testpersons are likely to try and catvch the ball, as does the receiveing person react to any of the transmitters actions (lifting an object, climbing stairs e.a.)
2
The receiver tries and learns to recognise him/herself through the cameras image. His/her self--consciousness is dependant upon being inside the picture or not. The transmitter carries the resposibility to deliver the perspective at which the receiver experiences him/herself.
Riding a bicycle, stepping stairs, walking in circles or figure eights as concrete tasks for the receiver to solve.
The transmitter is trying to put him/herself into the receivers place to find an optimized frameset.
The receiver´s irritation is largely caused from the "wrong" image angles within the HMD and the necessity to focus on one´s own position within the picture. The feeling is described as one of self-remote control not unsimiliar to an arcade game. The change over frome one´s own sight to seeing one´s image from the outside is not like a mirror image at all, hence is experienced as very "difficult". The implication being though, that on a longer testing time it would become familiar and one would get used to it.
3
Is the receiver put into a different physical space than the transmitter any kind of interaction is taken away and the experience becomes that of watching TV.
The receiver is not showing any visible signs of reaction no more.
A shared space between the receiver and transmitter has therefore to be taken as an essential paradigm for the experiments.
Plans:
more technical experiments (Hyperstereoskopie e.a.)
Dining under remote perception conditions along with biofeedback measurements.
