The Renaissance of the Third Dimension | Stefano Baldassi | TEDxLA


Translator: Dalia Saaid Checker: Riyad Almubarak

It is said to be in a world of technology

We still rely on sticky notes

Even with mobile phones, tablets, and wearable devices

We are still scrambling to write our thoughts

And hang them everywhere around offices, whiteboards

And sometimes on the same devices

Which was initially designed for replacement

While I was getting ready for this talk

I was playing my recorded notes during the morning sport

Files are everywhere around my laptop, text messages, photos, special notes, and many more

Every day, this tangle of information becomes larger.

A new stream of beliefs will be created after another of the ideas

Which are administered orthogonal to each other

Like a tree that has been growing new branches at strange angles.

Human creativity is a beautiful kind of chaos.

We must support him even if he is anarchist.

However, every device we use

He can only show us that we are rigid, part of his rectangular surface.

It does not take a world of nerves

In order to realize that this is not the way that man evolved to think.

Instead, imagine a scientist

Where technology is expected to fit

Our way of nature is to act and think.

in this world,

We can organize our ideas in a three-dimensional,

We are surrounded by the content we need for our tasks

And allow us to access them directly

Without a clumsy medium such as a keyboard or screen.

This will take us away from our offices and finally raise our eyes on computer monitors.

Our relationship with information

Have become a natural part of our concrete lives

Rather than separation from them

Instead of putting ourselves in a digital world,

We can bring its best characteristics to the real world in which we actually live.

This will be more than just another hoot.

Our thinking moved from binary to three-dimensional.

In fact, this transition was a unique innovation

At the heart of the period now known as the Renaissance

Since the first conceptual models of man,

Until the Middle Ages,

Art was confined to a superficial and primary world.

Well, these changes were in Florence in the fifteenth century

When architect Filippo Brunelleschi opened the third dimension in the painting

That he was the first to use the longitudinal perspective.

With Brunelleschi’s progress,

The painted symbols began to feel like less embezzlement than our world

And more of it as an extension of it.

This shift from surface to third dimension

It was more than just an upgrade of artists’ skills.

It was a revolution in human creativity

Which has stretched beyond the drawing for centuries.

For example, Galileo relied on his imaginative perspective

To discover the properties of the moon observed through the telescope,

Providing the main spark that ignited the Copernican revolution.

Well, let me argue in this matter, today’s computers have their own renaissance

For years, I came to my laboratory in Florence Serra across the Cathedral of Florence

The Pappesiri, Piazza delasiguria and the Via Arno

Every morning I walk by the works of these great artists

Who opened the third dimension of the world in the Renaissance

But in the last three years

I was fascinated by the new Floreansa, the Silicon Valley

Contributing to a new journey to the third dimension

Through a new technology called “enhanced reality”

In fact the enhanced UI will no longer be a flat screen

But the stereoscopic images surrounding us

We can touch it with our hands

As we can join them with real objects and access to countless information,

Or we can create new stereoscopic images rather than sticky notes

We test our ideas directly and in a blink

How can this fit into reality and with our partners?

But wait a moment,

And what entered neuroscience all this?

Well, with the enhanced reality we can move computers from our offices or palm

To our eyes, our senses, our brains

Our computers will no longer be a barrier in our space

But will create the space in which we live and work.

Therefore, it has to fit our brains in an ideal way.

So, let me put some examples of how I and my team are

We use neuroscience to accomplish this task.

We all receive many notices, do not we?

Well in fact enhanced, notices will not only be distracted to attention

But it can be dangerous

Here lies the help of neuroscience attention

Our brains have communication networks that ensure our constant focus on our tasks

These are the areas highlighted in blue in this drawing.

Suddenly, unexpected stimuli appear,

The shaded network is dominated by yellow

Our focus on the mission is cut to focus on this new event.

Except that in our contemporary life, distracted stimuli of attention

A tiger will not attack us in the forest

But notices on black Friday discounts can be

The observation comes with another basic area

That the mind analyzes one-third of the visual information

Today, however, computers use half of this capability.

As you can see, the sense of sight has two distinct paths

The first is a ventral route

It responds to “what” questions by identifying familiar objects

Such as faces, words, or things like this chair.

But equally important is the dorsal path

Which responded to the questions of “where” and “how”

If the abdominal track tells us, what are we looking for

The dorsal path helps us to understand

The biggest goal of things is how you can fit them

The dorsal path is very vulnerable to movement

And carefully monitors the surrounding tracks

So it plays a vital role in our activities,

From intercepting volleyball to subtle movements of the artist

This is why today’s computers are frustrating to us easily.

They are mainly designed for the abdominal passage only.

Instead, the enhanced reality uses space and depth

In order to coordinate information in a natural form

It invests both stages and puts our perceptions in use

To make it more practical,

Check out this photo of my friend Jerry Grant

Head of Brain Surgery at Stanford Children’s Hospital

It shows only 6 out of 12 dispensing devices displayed in the operating room

You can agree with me and with him

That keeps visual communication on the brain that works on it

Sometimes the difference between life and death can be made

Instead, these surgeons live in a permanent state of

Practice “Correspondence During Leadership”

They risk making new mistakes with each distraction

Regardless of the importance of this information that reaches them from these devices

How wonderful it would be if you could get rid of those screens

And arranged around the patient’s body

Moreover, a three-dimensional scan is directly attached to the patient’s head

Provides access to any level of depth within the image

To target devices without errors

This will take advantage of the subconscious attention system

The dorsal system of the sense of emptiness is perfect

But the ability to conduct a three-dimensional survey directly on the patient’s head

Deeper than we imagine

In fact, just as the mind prefers to think out of space.

Instead of two dimensions

Our instincts force us to reach our work

Rather than being controlled remotely

Our brains understand things that are within reach

Much better than those beyond

They have certain mechanisms to find a relationship between the things we see

With our actions

This is obviously another dimension to our brains

That today’s technology can not precisely absorb it

But the brain has other surprises

Who heard about the optic nerve cells?

Well, when I fed my children – they were there – for more than three years ago

I could not help myself from opening my mouth like they did

You know that.

These are the neurons that stimulate while we say doing activities ourselves

Or while we see someone doing the same thing.

As if our brains evolved to take into account cooperation

Model learning whenever possible

Flat panel monitors block the power of communication between us

While enhanced reality retrieves them

Jerry’s team of surgeons can communicate with their hands and tools

Before communicating

These were just a glimpse of the research

Which my team and I have been working on for the last three years

Help human neuroscience the future of computing

Imagine we are years from now

We wear glasses where there is no difference from what I wear now, just the smartest.

Put your hand in front of you, and imagine you are carrying a leaf of trees

Then, imagine a stereoscopic picture of the paper

To show her secrets down to the cellular level

Then you can use your hand to move the water inside the veins of the paper

The minerals that feed plants and promote photosynthesis appear

You can do it with your friends or children

It reminds me of this image of my father reading to my daughter, several years ago

Technology has changed, but the idea has not changed.

People communicate in honest ways, creatively and in personal ways,

By understanding how our brains work,

We can create computers capable of delivering these experiences,

Expanding our cognitive abilities, rather than trying to replace them.

Our creativity will rise to the sky

Without compromises and without borders.

All in all, this will be the era of a new renaissance.

Thank you so much.
