Candidacy for Print Screen and Yafo Creative's Digital Art & VR Residency

This very candidature is hosted on my Personal Information Manager (PIM) with its VR interface.

Using VR headset and WebVR enabled browser allows you to enter this experience: meditate then write your ideas and visualize them thanks to in-VR painting.

VR interface to thoughts

Current exploration : open scaffolding to spacially and textualy explore interfaces https://git.benetou.fr/utopiah/text-code-xr-engine/

Exploring my triage and annotation process

To dive more in depth see the ~60min interview VR & Philosophy #04: A VR Wikipedia with Fabien Benetou.

I like to take notes. I like to take notes because I have ideas, a lot of them. Most of them are a bit stupid or not that original but, I hope, few of them are quite nice. In order to relax myself I write those ideas down. I also write down notes about events, books, recipes, etc. That helps me to organize my thoughts and, hopefully, have more and better ideas. In order to do that I used :

• paper notebook, very flexible and mobile but can't search
• random files, flexible but no synthesis
• 1 text file with numbered lines to allow for recursively reference previous ideas, quickly gets messy
• multiple text files, mess
• paper mindmaps and electronic mindmaps, amazing for synthesis, doesn't scale so well

About 8 years ago I settled for an online wiki which now has about 1475 pages. In fact I have a network of wikis, a lot more than just 1 wiki and some of them are even offline or not publicly accessible. I find it amazing because it lets me create new pages, link back to future and older pages, search, share with others, embed multimedia content including slideshows and even the the latest craze like 360 photos or 3D objects and animations. Unfortunately it is quite intangible. More importantly the more it grows the more I feel the need to make it tangible.

I started to work on a 3D model of it to 3D print but it didn't give any useful result. I started to print pages of it to put on my walls but it doesn't work for 2 obvious reasons :

1. 800 pages requires a LOT of walls,
2. multiple pages are updated every day so reprinting isn't sustainable.

Thankfully nearly 2 years ago I tried the Oculus and was blown away. My second reaction after "Wow... that's amazing" was of course how I could apply this to my notes. I started to see what existed and didn't find anything relevant. I then started to make several prototypes with the technology available at the time (cardboard + threejs). Since then both the hardware and software evolved. My understanding also evolved thanks to failed and successful prototypes.

This brought us to, later 2016. The latest prototype then worked with 2 or more HTC Vive networked and used Aframe 0.3.1. It means 2 persons could manipulate a set of notes together, in a shared virtual space.

Here are some visuals :

There is still a LOT to do. More precisely :

• improve large scale 3D visualization cf 50 nodes preview with code
• improve the infinite gaze mode cf demo
• grouping options delete, save, etc in a nice interface
• level of details with gaze or distance, High res texture (e.g. 1024px width) if within 1m, HTML shader if picked e.g. wiki page with minimalist skin
• Annotation tool a la Tiltbrush but stabilo colors , pins with linked pins (rely on Aframe painter e.g. Wiki.VirtualRealityInterface?action=webvrpaint)
• replay recorded sessions (rely e.g. on replay-telemetry-webvr) or more recently the dedicate AFrame component
• record networked sessions
• 2D visualization of edits frequency per page as currently done on the 2D equivalent using PJS (cf Visualization)
• state saved as native wiki format in order to be editable from the wiki

Status of latest prototype :

What's the VR added value

• full focus
• bringing back physicality to cognitive tasks
• unlimited display space while still being room-scale

What it is not

This is also not about managing a desktop like Virtual Desktop or envelopVR . Those are also nice tools to expand a classical computer desktop but here the focus is on personal information management. Not how to start a game, how to watch a video or install a program but rather how to sort your notes about the games, how you felt watching the video and how maybe thinking and writing about both can help you discover what you truly like and eventually become able to make it yourself.

Note that this is not about memorization. I tried memorization and it doesn't work for the kind of creative tasks I'm interested in. In my opinion memorization is great for repetitive tasks required for a known optimal solution already exists. For discovering new solutions I believe understanding the structure of a problem or a set of information is way more efficient., if not the only way. Consequently the goal of this project is not to provide a way to recollect information but rather to organize visually and thanks to that process to discover the underlying structure of information, or at least a structure that allows for efficiently accessing and using that set of information, thanks to manipulation and first person spatial navigation. For memorization see instead my MemoryRecipe that relied an RSS feed to go against the Forgetting curve.

Past work

• visual prototype of transparent ground using Apainter
• depth proportional to number of edits & length to ... length of the page (cf code)
• roller coaster of edits (did help to remember the pace even 6 months after last try)
• save state (using node, cf server code)
• graph layout in VR (using D3)
• Vive networked version with controllers video example
• visual exploration, self 3D models with rotating notes
• Aframe alternative with physics and network support
• Planning the year ahead in VR, each target project or objective represented as a post-it note or photo

Timeline

• cognitive science studies during SC02 around 2004
  • during which I read one of my favourite research paper in cognitive science namely "Where brain, body and world collide"
• AR extension Overlay in late 2009
• 1st note from at least WithoutNotesFebruary11
• applied to Oculus in 2013 because... why not
  • "At this time, and given your lack of work status in the US, we have nothing to offer you. Please watch our website for potential openings as we grow."
• tried Oculus in later 2014 via Hello Bank popup store in Brussels
• 1st event attended BeVRJanuary2015 then 1st hackathon VRHackatonBrussels2016 part of Portfolio
• tried to hire someone to make ThreeJS/PmWiki interface work for me via Job4Bitcoin in March 2015
• tought several workshops in 2015 via OpenTechSchool Brussels and at least 3 in 2016 via VRLab Brussels
• vAtelier.net started in 2015 motivated by the early 3DVisualization by myself due to the failed hiring for the job
  • especially Demos and LessonsLearned
• GoldmanSachs early 2016 report considered for ManagingMyInvestments
• vrlab-brussels.info with its numerous workshops since early 2016
  • actually complained 1 year before during BeVRJanuary2015 about the lack of "home-brew" projects!
• 2nd hackathon, 2nd "win" at VRHackatonUtrecht2016 in June 2016
• 1st hardware workshop resulting in 3 new designs in June 2016
• 1st large (~20 persons without previous setup) multiplayer demonstration during CafeNumeriqueBXL in June 2016
