Fabien (Utopiah): ref to the VUB research I mentioned https://wise.vub.ac.be/index.php/publication/towards-framework-dynamic-data-physicalisation
00:12:18.256,00:12:21.256
Fabien (Utopiah): specifically https://wise.vub.ac.be/index.php/topic/tangible-holograms-tangho

Fabien (Utopiah): (2017 ... so a long while ago)
00:19:11.043,00:19:14.043
Fabien (Utopiah): on notation that could be useful for XR https://lig-microglyph.imag.fr/ but "just" for motions
00:22:34.017,00:22:37.017
Silka Sietsma: This is also interesting for spoken language translation. What if the tonal/emotional inclination could be translated from a British speaker to an Italian translation.
00:26:10.273,00:26:13.273
Ian Stewart: What are some sources you could recommend about the idea of writing making it easier to think in abstractions?
00:28:41.175,00:28:44.175
Fabien (Utopiah): on writing to think, one my favorite quote trying to illustrate
00:28:45.012,00:28:48.012
Fabien (Utopiah): No, it's not a record, not really. It's working.
You have to work on paper, and this is the paper. Okay?

Ian Stewart: If I had maxed out my gaming PC, it would have been $3500 or more
00:31:27.837,00:31:30.837
Fabien (Utopiah): visualizing and editing my home assistant rules, can literally do that today
00:31:46.120,00:31:49.120
Silka Sietsma: Point at your pet & say feed & and the cat feeder releases food.

Bill Roberts: @Andy have you been using any of your prototypes for piano practice consistently? Or were they more one-off efforts / experiments?
00:46:38.976,00:46:41.976
Harley Turan: I've spoken to folks who've been typing on the Vision Pro pre0release, and they've said they are able to hit pretty high WPM by rapidly tapping their fingers like a crab with both hands whilst glancing at characters.
00:47:53.374,00:47:56.374
Ian Stewart: I'm trying to learn guitar, and that means I've got six pianos on a stick!

Ian Stewart: thank you!!!

Fabien Benetou
On keyboard, text and XR https://building.soft.space/p/spatial-computing-has-a-keyboard published just yesterday could be interesting to some. FWIW my own related tinkerings https://twitter.com/utopiah/status/1534055718462099457 Thanks for the great conversation yesterday!
