Camera that Can Manipulate Time

(public)

• This seems like an interesting idea for a smartphone app.

• It’s like Field of View Split into Multiple Times, where a camera captures footage that introduces a time shift at the playback position.

  • 
  • Something like this, where there is a temporal distortion in the video.

• Tapping on the screen could cause the surrounding area to distort and slow down, for example.

• It would also be interesting to slow down only the person and cut them out.

  • I think there was an iOS app like that.

• Additionally, mixing delays of a few seconds and a few hours would be intriguing.

• It would be fun to implement Physical Laws in the Time Dimension using this technique.

  • Also, Organism that travels back in time and other concepts like that.
  • It feels like it could become a platform for various Exploration of Virtual Time.

• By leveraging the assumption that videos generally point to a single point on the timeline, there are many possibilities for experimentation.

  • In-camera video with only half the delay

• For now, I tried splitting the video horizontally and shifting it before merging it back together.

  • It feels a bit strange when one side follows while the other doesn’t when raising and lowering both hands.
  • The line of sight doesn’t align.
    • When splitting vertically, the movement of the eyes and the movement of the object being tracked don’t match.
    • When splitting horizontally, the movement of the left and right eyes causes cross-eyed vision.
  • When waving my hand in front of the shifted video, I want to synchronize the waving speed with the delayed video, creating a Attraction Phenomenon-like effect.

• I tried shifting it on the x-axis.

  • There is less lag when it’s shifted higher up, but more lag when moving the hand lower down.
    • The lag (≒sense of body ownership?) changes without a clear switch, which is quite interesting.#delay and sense of body ownership
  • 

• If it’s just a delay, there’s nothing more to it.

  • However, if you can interact with something using this delayed hand, it would enhance the immersion in Virtual Time.
  • The existence of a virtual timeline comes to life.

• #might implement.
