Alright, so I have written down a couple of questions I think that are worth questioning.
1. Why are tech-savvy people are so obsessed with sharing their content over the internet?
2. How real is a hologram or a digital moving character? Could something fictional be treated equally to a real person when brought into the real world with interactivity?
Recently I paid a visit to Universal Studios Singapore and had an opportunity to experience 'Donkey Live'. Initially, I thought the whole show was pre-recorded as the Donkey in the screen was 3D rendered. One more thing that made me think so was that the voice of the Donkey itself was really close to the one in the movie, almost indistinguishable.
However, the characteristics, movements, lip syncing and noises were all live and are able to interact with the audience. I thought about it awhile and realized some of these effects are available on webcams in laptops where users could wear a pre-intstalled mask that would close and open its mouth when the user does.
More holographic concerts with deranged fans screaming over a bunch of uninteractive, pre-rendered and choreographed characters. Could this be the same with just watching a regular video at home?
3. How important is identity to a person? Why are they willing to change it if given the option to do so online, like say in RPGs?
