Green riverbank butterflies - Lepidoptera: How to focus my next Harbin book, and building a 3D, interactive, film realistic virtual Harbin as field site?, Helpful NYT's overview of current digital goggles and augmented reality - "Real-Life Illness in a Virtual World," "Virtual Worlds" at WUaS, See, too, "Watsu - water shiatsu" at WUaS, Watsu in virtual Harbin ... in what ways?




How to focus my next Harbin book, and building a 3D, interactive, film realistic virtual Harbin as field site, as these information technologies develop as part of a virtual earth, and which don’t quite exist yet?

And since at least 2 films have been shown daily for decades at Harbin, how further to add an interactive, film realism component in the Oculus Rift for both of these daily films? 

Can we enter into them visually, and eventually with a brain wave headset built in even, as well as enter into virtual Harbin from our bathtubs, for a warm water relaxation response meditation? 

If this interactive, film realistic virtual Harbin were already built and done well, what would be my first foci in fieldwork/pool play? Pool play that works in the Oculus Rift, and meditation and bliss and hanging out and exploring vis-a-vis talking and language between people and avatars in these devices will be fascinating to co-create, study and be part of. 

How to make it possible to wiki build virtual Harbin in an ongoing way – so multiple voices and people might shape it … 

... for ‘ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy,’ an idea I’ve explored most fully in this my blog in this label –

... and how also to make this flourishing {virtually}?


Helpful overview of current digital goggles and augmented reality:
