Today’s topic
What world or space is created by VR/MR ? Telexistence
Master-slave robot Twister
Conclusions The role of spatiotemporal information processing What world or space is created ? (again) Spatiotemporal information processing as “Hyper-
distributed system”
VR application : 2 Virtual worlds Constructed world ( = virtual space in computer )
Model of the real world The real space, but cannot perceive directly
Far, Small or Dangerous Used for education , training or design
Flight simulator, virtual prototyping Model of the hyper-real world
Not real, theoretical world The world of the theory of relativity The world of mathematics (vector field, etc.) Art or amusement
Transmitted world ( VR via Network=ubiquitous ) Telexistence Remote control of a robot
Telexistence
Telexistence enables people to act freely without any limitations of time and space.
It is “remote-control of robot”, but what the robot sees, what the robot feels, every sense is returned to a user
The user can feel high presence. The feeling is like carrying oneself to and existing in long-distanced place.

TWISTER
Simple system for mutual communication (camera and display)
360 degree, glasses-less 3D Movie communication in real time Head position is fixed One person uses only

The role of spatiotemporal information processing
As 4-dimensional information processing Keyboard and mouse are used. acquisition, save, recognition, retrieve, etc. Algorithmism vs Dataism
By new modalities VR, wearable computer, telexistence The role of computer is being changed
From AI (Artificial Intelligence) to IA (Intelligence Amplification)

answer
Conventional InformationProcessing (AI)
Mass-communicationPath (VR)
Information processing unitby effective combination of Computer and user
Information Processing by New modality (IA)
The role of spatiotemporal information processing
Spatiotemporal Information Processing is realized by New Modality (=VR) Mass-communication path between computer
and user can be realized. Computer power is added to human power.
More large human power is produced. Information in the brain is output to computer.
The result is returned to the brain. This process can create “New Intelligence”.
What is “Spatiotemporal Information Processing” ?
What is “New Intelligence”?
New knowledge = “Transition of thought outside the brain” Output of a part of information in the brain Computer processes the information After the processing, the result is input to the brain. New intelligence is created
New intelligence created by interaction with the outside = affordance
New behavioral style Virtualization of the real space (Ubiquitous and hyper-
distributed processing), telexistence
VR application : 2 Virtual worlds Constructed world ( = New knowledge )
Model of the real world The real space, but cannot perceive directly
Far, Small or Dangerous Used for education , training or design
Flight simulator, virtual prototyping Model of the hyper-real world
Not real, theoretical world The world of the theory of relativity The world of mathematics (vector field, etc.) Art or amusement
Transmitted world ( = New behavioral style ) Virtualization of the real space Telexistence (Remote control of a robot)
Example of “Transition of thought outside the brain”
Example of “Transition of thought outside the brain”
What space should be created ? Visualization of genome data
Analyzing space of genome data Analysis of function of gene
Interaction of a number of gene with many functions Visualization by color information after selection
High possibility of overlooking important data Visualization by only color is not enough for intuitive
understanding
No selection, direct presentation into 3D space. Selection and analysis after 3D visualization
Tokyo electric power company (1990)
Automation of electrical power distribution by computer
Requirement of test of the computer and the software
Work flow of the software is visualized into 3D space
Visualization system of software

What space should be created ?
History of programming languages
Example of “Transition of thought outside the brain”
What space should be created ?
New behavioral style
Another virtual world
Artificial space in computer
Transform the real space to virtual space The real space -> ubiquitous, Computer -> intimate Correspondence to “individual” ( example, mobile phone ) Correspondence to “dispersion” is more important than
“average”
The real world changes to Hyper-distributed system
on condition of large quantity of information
A metaphor of hyper distributed system ?Holonic System
Information system of organism The number of cell in human body is 60
trillion. A cell works autonomously, but the cells are
connected, the set of cells works as one system.
Although each cell has independent system, the cell keeps the rule as total system.
Holonic System An autonomous distributed information system
with fluctuation
How to use the space ?
With watch, GPS and mobile phone High identification ability of space and time Behavioral style with “fluctuation” is possible
Time Zoning like timetable disappears The space is used in “Ad-Hoc”
Active system design extemporaneously “Meeting and parting” of system ≒ Holonic system Information system of organism is the most efficiency,
therfore, the system becomes close to organism system.
Feature of hyper-distributed system
Sensing information in real time Larger knowledge in a terminal than a center Initiative of information flow will be moved to a
terminal side Example : Wearable computer application
Current situation Information flow from system (center) to user (terminal)
( information according to position )= average infor.
Future Real time information is sent to center computer
= pinpoint information processing is available in real time
If hyper-distributed system is realized..
If ubiquitous environment is realized by RFID, intimate computer, etc., very small scale and very low level information processing and control will be available.
Realization of spatiotemporal information processing on condition of huge number of information device distributed into the real world
