[Applause]

[Applause] so today I would like to show you that

so today I would like to show you that

so today I would like to show you that virtual reality is a great tool to hack

virtual reality is a great tool to hack

virtual reality is a great tool to hack your mind and we will see that there are

your mind and we will see that there are

your mind and we will see that there are three different kind of illusions and if

three different kind of illusions and if

three different kind of illusions and if you have combined them appropriately can

you have combined them appropriately can

you have combined them appropriately can make the big difference between a great

make the big difference between a great

make the big difference between a great immersive experience and an immense

immersive experience and an immense

immersive experience and an immense failure so my mind was hacked by virtual

failure so my mind was hacked by virtual

failure so my mind was hacked by virtual reality the first time almost 25 years

reality the first time almost 25 years

reality the first time almost 25 years ago so as a young teenager I went to

ago so as a young teenager I went to

ago so as a young teenager I went to Berlin and attended there or visited an

Berlin and attended there or visited an

Berlin and attended there or visited an amusement park called the cyberspace

amusement park called the cyberspace

amusement park called the cyberspace cafe and what I saw there was basically

cafe and what I saw there was basically

cafe and what I saw there was basically the first commercially available VR

the first commercially available VR

the first commercially available VR games ever at that time so there were

games ever at that time so there were

games ever at that time so there were some machines by W industry later called

some machines by W industry later called

some machines by W industry later called virtuality and I could actually play my

virtuality and I could actually play my

virtuality and I could actually play my first VR game this most dec tonight now

first VR game this most dec tonight now

first VR game this most dec tonight now as illustrated here in the video so I’m

as illustrated here in the video so I’m

as illustrated here in the video so I’m curious how how many of you have played

curious how how many of you have played

curious how how many of you have played this game before so just two three

this game before so just two three

this game before so just two three people so as you can see in this game we

people so as you can see in this game we

people so as you can see in this game we have this checkerboard platforms in

have this checkerboard platforms in

have this checkerboard platforms in which you can move around you had a gun

which you can move around you had a gun

which you can move around you had a gun you had to shoot some dragons which

you had to shoot some dragons which

you had to shoot some dragons which tried to catch you and you could

tried to catch you and you could

tried to catch you and you could collaborate with a different player or

collaborate with a different player or

collaborate with a different player or you can shoot other players as well and

you can shoot other players as well and

you can shoot other players as well and despite the really low quality of what

despite the really low quality of what

despite the really low quality of what you saw there so really low resolution

you saw there so really low resolution

you saw there so really low resolution high latency immature trekking and so on

high latency immature trekking and so on

high latency immature trekking and so on I was really blown away by this

I was really blown away by this

I was really blown away by this experience I really had the illusion of

experience I really had the illusion of

experience I really had the illusion of being there in the surreal

being there in the surreal

being there in the surreal assha light world I really had the

assha light world I really had the

assha light world I really had the illusion that the dragon tries to catch

illusion that the dragon tries to catch

illusion that the dragon tries to catch me and I certainly had the illusion that

me and I certainly had the illusion that

me and I certainly had the illusion that my friend was there with me it took a

my friend was there with me it took a

my friend was there with me it took a couple of years until I got into

couple of years until I got into

couple of years until I got into research and kind of understand which

research and kind of understand which

research and kind of understand which was what was really going on there so

was what was really going on there so

was what was really going on there so when we talk about virtual reality today

when we talk about virtual reality today

when we talk about virtual reality today we talk about immersive technology and

we talk about immersive technology and

we talk about immersive technology and this immersive technology allows us to

this immersive technology allows us to

this immersive technology allows us to dive into a computer-generated world

dive into a computer-generated world

dive into a computer-generated world with all our senses not only the visual

with all our senses not only the visual

with all our senses not only the visual sense and the auditory sense but also

sense and the auditory sense but also

sense and the auditory sense but also our inner body senses so while we move

our inner body senses so while we move

our inner body senses so while we move we can explore the environment and it

we can explore the environment and it

we can explore the environment and it has been shown that this immersive

has been shown that this immersive

has been shown that this immersive technology tends to increase our sense

technology tends to increase our sense

technology tends to increase our sense of presence which means our sense of

of presence which means our sense of

of presence which means our sense of believing that we are in this

believing that we are in this

believing that we are in this computer-generated world but the sense

computer-generated world but the sense

computer-generated world but the sense of presence has multiple dimensions and

of presence has multiple dimensions and

of presence has multiple dimensions and I would briefly summarize the three most

I would briefly summarize the three most

I would briefly summarize the three most important

important

important sorry for the formula here is a TEDx

sorry for the formula here is a TEDx

sorry for the formula here is a TEDx talk so I was hurt I was not allowed to

talk so I was hurt I was not allowed to

talk so I was hurt I was not allowed to use any formulas but this is the only

use any formulas but this is the only

use any formulas but this is the only formula I showed to you so for those of

formula I showed to you so for those of

formula I showed to you so for those of you who haven’t studied mathematics or

you who haven’t studied mathematics or

you who haven’t studied mathematics or Greek symbols it just means that

Greek symbols it just means that

Greek symbols it just means that presence for presence it’s essential to

presence for presence it’s essential to

presence for presence it’s essential to sum up P C and Sigma and what I mean by

sum up P C and Sigma and what I mean by

sum up P C and Sigma and what I mean by that I will explain in a second so the

that I will explain in a second so the

that I will explain in a second so the first one P is an acronym for place

first one P is an acronym for place

first one P is an acronym for place allusion and this refers to the illusion

allusion and this refers to the illusion

allusion and this refers to the illusion that you really believe that you are in

that you really believe that you are in

that you really believe that you are in this place that you are seeing so you’re

this place that you are seeing so you’re

this place that you are seeing so you’re done on a head-mounted display for

done on a head-mounted display for

done on a head-mounted display for example and then you are in this virtual

example and then you are in this virtual

example and then you are in this virtual environment and for example we can just

environment and for example we can just

environment and for example we can just use virtual pity on a heist icebreaker

use virtual pity on a heist icebreaker

use virtual pity on a heist icebreaker you don’t not be a champion to see that

you don’t not be a champion to see that

you don’t not be a champion to see that and you really have you are there and we

and you really have you are there and we

and you really have you are there and we can actually measure that so you will

can actually measure that so you will

can actually measure that so you will see that you have an increase heart rate

see that you have an increase heart rate

see that you have an increase heart rate that you begin to sweat but this is

that you begin to sweat but this is

that you begin to sweat but this is actually not enough for these illusions

actually not enough for these illusions

actually not enough for these illusions it’s not enough that you just have the

it’s not enough that you just have the

it’s not enough that you just have the feeling of being there and this brings

feeling of being there and this brings

feeling of being there and this brings us to the next important point which is

us to the next important point which is

us to the next important point which is sea plausibility illusion and this

sea plausibility illusion and this

sea plausibility illusion and this refers to the illusion that you really

refers to the illusion that you really

refers to the illusion that you really believe that the events which happen in

believe that the events which happen in

believe that the events which happen in virtual reality actually occur so

virtual reality actually occur so

virtual reality actually occur so whoever hears afraid of spiders

whoever hears afraid of spiders

whoever hears afraid of spiders a couple so if we put you in a virtual

a couple so if we put you in a virtual

a couple so if we put you in a virtual reality experience and you see some

reality experience and you see some

reality experience and you see some virtual spiders as this human here which

virtual spiders as this human here which

virtual spiders as this human here which goat for words your hand you should

goat for words your hand you should

goat for words your hand you should really have this illusion that this is

really have this illusion that this is

really have this illusion that this is happening to you at this point and we

happening to you at this point and we

happening to you at this point and we will see how for what we can use it but

will see how for what we can use it but

will see how for what we can use it but again just having this place illusion

again just having this place illusion

again just having this place illusion and plausibility illusion is not enough

and plausibility illusion is not enough

and plausibility illusion is not enough for a great experience and like all

for a great experience and like all

for a great experience and like all technologies that we have today only

technologies that we have today only

technologies that we have today only those get successful which really help

those get successful which really help

those get successful which really help users in humans to get connected to each

users in humans to get connected to each

users in humans to get connected to each other which brings us to the next

other which brings us to the next

other which brings us to the next important dimension of presence which is

important dimension of presence which is

important dimension of presence which is social presence which refers to the

social presence which refers to the

social presence which refers to the sense of being there with another person

sense of being there with another person

sense of being there with another person in this world and I just want to show

actually very simple in virtual reality so you can just track all the motions

so you can just track all the motions

so you can just track all the motions and map that to a virtual world the

and map that to a virtual world the

and map that to a virtual world the problem is that usually the virtual

problem is that usually the virtual

problem is that usually the virtual environment illustrated here is much

it is we did a couple of hacking your

it is we did a couple of hacking your mind tricks actually by guiding users on

mind tricks actually by guiding users on

mind tricks actually by guiding users on circular arcs in the real world while

circular arcs in the real world while

circular arcs in the real world while they believe to walk straight in the

they believe to walk straight in the

they believe to walk straight in the virtual environment and it turned out

and it’s really cool to see how these

and it’s really cool to see how these research work which is already quite old

research work which is already quite old

research work which is already quite old called redirected walking is now really

called redirected walking is now really

called redirected walking is now really applied in commercial products so in

applied in commercial products so in

applied in commercial products so in Utah there’s a theme park called the

Utah there’s a theme park called the

Utah there’s a theme park called the void in which you can actually go with

void in which you can actually go with

void in which you can actually go with your friends and play like virtual laser

your friends and play like virtual laser

your friends and play like virtual laser tech so you have an arena in which you

tech so you have an arena in which you

tech so you have an arena in which you can run around with your friends

can run around with your friends

can run around with your friends have plays illusion the affordability

have plays illusion the affordability

have plays illusion the affordability loot and social presence in which you

loot and social presence in which you

loot and social presence in which you can interact with some friends and they

can interact with some friends and they

can interact with some friends and they use exactly the same concepts here

[Music]

[Music] and this is now simply used in a game

and this is now simply used in a game

and this is now simply used in a game context but you can easily use your

context but you can easily use your

context but you can easily use your imagination and think what could you

imagination and think what could you

imagination and think what could you display in such words and what could you

display in such words and what could you

display in such words and what could you experience together with your friends

experience together with your friends

experience together with your friends and your family or your colleagues and

and your family or your colleagues and

and your family or your colleagues and really believing that this is a real

really believing that this is a real

really believing that this is a real place and that the events are really

place and that the events are really

place and that the events are really happening so what will happen in the

happening so what will happen in the

happening so what will happen in the future what will happen with the

future what will happen with the

future what will happen with the ultimate display in the future we have

ultimate display in the future we have

ultimate display in the future we have seen it took 25 years from the first

seen it took 25 years from the first

seen it took 25 years from the first prototype to the first VI huh we are

prototype to the first VI huh we are

prototype to the first VI huh we are hide then it took 20 more years until

hide then it took 20 more years until

hide then it took 20 more years until the next vr hive so you see the

the next vr hive so you see the

the next vr hive so you see the intervals are getting shorter on typical

intervals are getting shorter on typical

intervals are getting shorter on typical thing about exponential advancement so

thing about exponential advancement so

thing about exponential advancement so let’s have a look maybe to 15 years so

let’s have a look maybe to 15 years so

let’s have a look maybe to 15 years so what will happen in the next 15 years

what will happen in the next 15 years

what will happen in the next 15 years the really nice thing about exponential

the really nice thing about exponential

the really nice thing about exponential advancement is that you can easily

advancement is that you can easily

advancement is that you can easily predict and extrapolate how computing

predict and extrapolate how computing

predict and extrapolate how computing performance will evaluate so by this

performance will evaluate so by this

performance will evaluate so by this exponential advancement we know

exponential advancement we know

exponential advancement we know approximately every 18 months computing

approximately every 18 months computing

approximately every 18 months computing performance will double

performance will double

performance will double we know that in 15 years actually the

we know that in 15 years actually the

we know that in 15 years actually the machines that we will have available

machines that we will have available

machines that we will have available will be 1,000 times better than the

will be 1,000 times better than the

will be 1,000 times better than the machines that we have today and this

machines that we have today and this

machines that we have today and this will be true for storage this will be

will be true for storage this will be

applications have the potential to change our view of ourselves of others

change our view of ourselves of others

change our view of ourselves of others as well as how we see the world so in

very small number of years until we

very small number of years until we really have this new revolution of

really have this new revolution of

really have this new revolution of virtual reality augmented reality which

virtual reality augmented reality which

virtual reality augmented reality which will revolutionize the way how we live
