"Why augmented reality might just outshine virtual realty"

But then…

HYPER-REALITY
by Keiichi Matsuda

Hi Brandon, 

It’d be very very useful to  observe live working sessions — rather than indirect report thru abstract questionnaires.

situations: either of single users working alone , or ensemble.  (In latter case maybe a work session in which you are participant is best)

• live event, write down your impressions of what was going on, afterward

choice: participate in the event as a user, vs as explicit fly on the wall (after you establish trust and permission from others to do this)

• live event with you as participant, with camera + audio recording the entire room to capture all inter-body activity NOT just the screen, head or hands! We will send video snips to  Satinder Gill @ Cambridge for advice o iterating the method.

Iteratively refining the methodology is key to abductive science.

• User views recording with you and does talk aloud: what was she thinking, what was she / peers doing?  

Easiest way to do this is to recurse: play video on Quicktime Player and simply create a second screen grab movie in Quicktime Player 

These are known and effective  techniques in HCI user  experience / design research.  Let's apply them :)

As for trust, I’d suggest that we position your work NOT to replace the "pro's" work with supercomputer simulations, but as entirely different genus with different intent and distinct features:

INTENT:

(1) exploring general features of models

(2) qualitative speculation, backed by quantitative models

(3) more as an instrument for scaffolding ensemble conversation than for intense individual work

FEATURES:

(1) Realtime 

(2) Sketch , minimum power needed to scaffold live scientific creation rather than compete on resolution.
