Torus

This video provides limited documentation of the “Torus” project. Unfortunately, however, it does not give a good impression of the reader’s experience of Torus as an instance of immersive VR. Constrained by the requirements of Cave technicians, the video is shot from a single point of view and without the stereo imaging

that would usually be in operation. Moreover, the camera’s point of 

view is different and significantly distant from the reader’s point of view and this compromises the immersive illusion. For example, and most obviously, planes of text which should appear to extend behind the reader and out through the screen appear to be folded back away from both the camera’s and the reader’s point of view. Please bear this in mind when reviewing this material.

A pdf version of the interview is in the Brown Digital Repository (which is supposed to guarantee its links for as long as the institution lasts): https://repository.library.brown.edu/studio/item/bdr:383674/

A QuickTime 10 (= X ?) compatible version of the accompanying video (does display in current QT Player) is also in the BDR here: https://repository.library.brown.edu/studio/item/bdr:383673/

And an mp4 version is on Cayley's site https://programmatology.com/downloads/Torus.mp4
