Hi!
We need portals supporting concurrent conversation via common spaces like tabletops + audio… (no video!)
not talking-heads. It may be useful to have audio muffle as a feature — continuous stream audio, but default is to “content-filter” the speech. (Research in 1970’s … showed which spectral filters to apply to speech to remove “semantics” but keep enough affect…)
Maybe we can invite Omar to work with Garrett or Byron or Ozzie to install Evan’s version in the Brickyard and Stauffer and iStage as a side effect of the Animated spaces: Amorphous lighting network workshop with Chris Ziegler and Synthesis researchers.
BUT we should have portals running now ideally on my desk and on a Brickyard surface.
And that workshop remains to be planned (October ??)
And possibly running also on the two panel displays re-purposed from Il Y A — now moved to Stauffer...
