Their outline is neither left nor right, but sometimes left and sometimes right. Left or right only make sense within the boundaries of two-dimensional space once you move into the third dimension, left and right become observer-dependent, rather than independent, characteristics. It can appear to be either a left or a right hand, depending on the position of the observer. To visualize the problem Kant posed, imagine the outline of a hand printed onto a transparent surface. The possibility of higher-dimensional space is often traced to the twenty-four-year old Immanuel Kant, who speculated, in Thoughts on the True Estimation of Living Forces (1747), that “if it is possible that there are extensions with other dimensions, it is also very probable that God has somewhere brought them into being for His works have all the magnitude and manifoldness of which they are capable.” He later returned to this thought in The Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics (1783), where, in a puzzling little paragraph, he asks himself: If all space were empty but for a single human hand, would it make sense to ask whether that hand was specifically a right hand? 1
Before the fourth dimension began to be treated as time, however, it was briefly described as a transcendental dimension of space and imagined as the domain of whatever way of being in extension came after height. Any object that really exists, from the time it came into existence until the moment it vanishes forever, has duration, the fourth dimension. A length and width make two, and an object with a length, a width, and a height has three dimensions. Jean Clair, Sur Marcel Duchamp et la Fin de l’Art Enantiomorphs and KantĪn object that has a length has one dimension. It is the same object that we would sometimes see as “male” and sometimes as “female,” in this perfect mirror-like reversal of the body that presupposes, because it takes place, the existence of a fourth dimension. In a four-dimensional study … vagina and penis, like an anamorphic illusion, would immediately lose all distinctive character.
This physiological accident was never anything more than the effect of an assuredly ironic causality: the laws of Euclidian geometry. In Hyperspace Institute we believe that VR technology has outgrown the pop-culture and entertainment industry, the wow-factor of VR technology is not enough for us anymore.We are sometimes given a vagina-and that designates a “woman”-virgin, bride, etc.-and sometimes a penis-and that indicates a “man”-bachelor, groom, etc. Apart from VR-specialized designers, in the future VR industry will bring to life a number of new professions: coaches who will use VR in their training, VR-specialists in the industries, IT-professionals employed in VR data and servers maintenance, specialists who create VR content in a volumetric video capture studio and others.įrederike Manders says: “VR technology has a huge potential that should be exploited in education, healthcare, architecture and other spheres. “The future of VR is design: VR needs content developing and it needs design thinking.” That is why the founders of the Hyperspace Institute believe that the innovation in VR will develop rapidly here, in the unique ecosystem of Brainport Eindhoven, where technology and design connect. “So far lots of the VR projects have been made with the emphasis on the technical part, to explore the possibilities of these new techniques but often with the lack of good design”, says Frederike Manders. The Hyperspace Institute is interested in the same as the Hyperspace Collective – the best possible usage of VR/AR/MR technology for the society.įrederike Manders, the co-founder and chairman of the Hyperspace Institute (previously known as Hyperspace Collective) says: “With the Institute, we want to raise the standards and commit ourselves to quality and valuable applications of VR and AR, with the added value of these technologies being central.”
The launch of The Hyperspace Institute, an association of VR- and AR-professionals, will take place on the 6 thof June, during the Dutch Technology Week 2018.
