Performance based aspects of Visual Content:

  • Aiming

    [Eye-Hand Behaviors]................[Pursuit Tracking]

    • Obstacles to Computer Development

    Conventions of Performance

  • Established via Aesthetic Intent
  • Established via Formal Training/Typical Practice

    Setup of Computer Functionality

    Common Use of a Medium


    I. Paradigms for the Development of Functionality & Use

  • Performer Excitation/Behavioral (Biological Motion) Instigation

  • Vestibular (Scene) Description

  • Temporal Paradigms (Tenseless: Retentive,Tensed) in:
    Spatial Semantics/Evironmental Navigation

    II. Transmission vs. Reception

      Transmission:

      Excitation (Allocation)

      Control

      Input (Energy)
      Reception:

      Meaning

      Symbolism

      Image
    III. Sensory Processing Excitation Process

      [Speech-Respiration]
      [Feed]
      [Dissipation/Replenishment]
    Processing Human Behavior

      [Isolate]
      Engagement of Sensory Resources

      [Amplify]
      Visualization of Intangible Performance Behavior

      [Explore]
      Redirection or Filtration of Streams of Behavior
    Refinement of Tasked Behavior

      [Grasp, Hold, Sort, Pour, etc]
      [Unavoidable Delay]
      [Getting Ready]
    Aiming Figures

      [Dancer: Eye-Hand]
      [Guitarist: Aiming on a Plane Surface]
      [Flutist: Restricted Arm-Visual Mobility]



    Advantages of Excitation/Performance Model

  • Performer Modulation:

    • Layering of Performer Energy with Performer Articulated Activity

      Example:Harmonic Singing

    • Multi-Resolution : Feed and Incremental Task Realization

      See More

    • Dynamic User Input [Cross Modal]
  • Temporal Interaction:
    [Performer, Material Object]......[ Brief Decay Rates or Replenished Excitation]

  • Development of Amplifiable Visual Content:

    • Zoom-In Capable

    • Decomposition of Shaped/Incremental Tasking:
        [Iconic Language Processing]
        Rewrite Visual Systems [Meyer and Marriott 1997]


    • Insert or Delete Warping (Time Warping) of Feature Space:
      • Tasking Articulatory Behavior

      • Generation Pictorial Attributes of Visual Content
