Sense of Time Sharing

(public)

• Sharing a sense of time with others is one way to enhance the feeling of immersion in a timeline.
  • Axes for immersion
  • There is no need to actually share it, Believability

• Now there are contents that allow creators’ timeline to match the viewers’ timeline axokxi

  • Maybe I didn’t feel the need to chase after watching something from 劇団ノーミーツ when I missed the starting time because I was seeking a sense of synchronization.

A discussion I had around July 2020 #Time

• In relation to#kineto, what does it mean to truly manipulate time?

  • In the context of Communication, what is the sense of “Sense of Time Sharing”?

  • To summarize:

    • The feeling of “sharing time” is a one-sided sensation for the recipient of information.
      • It is felt when experiencing something (such as video or reality) that is the same as the information sender.
    • Face-to-face conversations, Zoom, and comments on Nico Nico Douga, fundamentally have no major differences when viewed in this way.
      • [* The difference lies in the delay from when the information is sent to when it is received, whether it is 1ms, 0.5 seconds, or 1 year.]

  • When receiving information from X while co-experiencing with X, it feels like “sharing time.”

    • X refers to:

      • The person you are conversing with (usually a human).

    • The exchanged information includes:

      • Voice messages
      • Reactions through facial expressions
      • And various other forms

    • The “something” that is co-experienced with X refers to something that changes over time (affected by the value of t).

      • In the case of face-to-face conversations in reality:
        • It is the “reality experienced through the five senses.”
          • A clock is a tool used to measure it with a certain scale.
      • In the case of comments on Nico Nico Douga or kineto:
        • It is the “video” that is co-experienced.
          • Here, the seek bar is a tool used to measure it with a certain scale.
      • What about Zoom?
        • It is the “sound of your own voice” that is co-experienced.
          • You cannot directly perceive that you are co-experiencing your own voice.
          • However, you can indirectly feel it because the other person is responding based on what you said.

    • Communication from X is generally one-way.

      • The information is sent from X before it is received, in terms of physical time.
        • “Before” can be 1ms ago, 1 year ago, or anything in between.
          • 1ms = the delay for the sound waves in a conversation to reach the other person.
          • 300ms = the delay in a conversation on Zoom.
          • 1 year = the delay when viewing old comments on Nico Nico Douga.

    • In other words, the feeling of “sharing time” is a one-way emotion (true “sharing” is not actually happening).

      • From your perspective, you are sharing time with X.
      • But from X’s perspective, there is a possibility that they are not “sharing time” with you.

    • Why is it possible to have two-way conversations in face-to-face interactions or on Zoom?

      • Because the time between sending information and receiving a response from the other person is within an acceptable range.
      • If the delay is within a certain threshold, both parties can feel that they are “sharing time” and engage in two-way conversations.

    • The use of the word “sharing” is because in traditional communication, the difference is only at the level of being able to have two-way conversations.

      • It is not truly “sharing.”
      • I am looking for a better vocabulary, but it hasn’t come to me yet.

  • The factors that influence the degree of the sensation of “sharing time” are:

    • There are several barriers
      • Interactive touch, interactive video, conversation, etc. each have their own barriers drinami

• The following are miscellaneous thoughts in the thought process

  • Q: Is it unnecessary to consider macro-level time (e.g., several years)?

    • Physically, the macro-level differences in communication only occur at the cosmic level.
    • Well, but ニコニコ動画_2 and others communicate on a scale of several years.

  • A: In other words, whether it is macro or micro is irrelevant; only the before and after of physical time matters.

  • We can ignore the discussion of the speed of time in relativity theory.- In communication, the physical body of “others” is also flowing time for oneself.

• However, their way of thinking can be helpful, like the communication in [Interstellar].

  • That is actually a form of communication without any distortion, so wouldn’t it be helpful to reference it?
