On VR (II): A Stage-by-Stage Summary of the Gaming Experience
I’ve already bought VR for several months now. Overall, it was money well spent. Aside from occasionally letting classmates experience it at reading groups, I myself use it quite a lot; in fact, several days a week I even go to Tsinghua specifically to play VR, with the aim of exercising. The amount of exercise really is huge, and the immersion is very strong. I can do high-intensity exercise in there for more than an hour straight. Of course, I have also not forgotten that playing VR has at least some academic significance, so after playing it for a while, it’s time to write a little summary. I. The Body…

On VR (I): The Meaning of “Immersion”
Our reading group hasn’t read any books for several weeks now. Apart from the pause, for the past two weeks it has turned into a gaming activity; if this goes on any longer, the reading group is going to become a gaming group…… Last week I finally got the VR set up. Only three little friends came to the reading group, so it just happened to turn into a VR experience session. Of course, when we play games it is not only for amusement and pastime, but also a necessary practice for the history of science and philosophy of technology; this is by no means perfunctory or a joke. I…

The First Reading Group of the New Semester

The First Reading Group of the New Semester
After a summer break, although a few core members were either busy with work or away overseas, the reading group still had to keep going. With some new additions, the first session still had seven people taking part. The venue was my newly tidied-up (not really) turnover apartment. This semester we’re reading Foucault’s The Order of Things. I had originally considered reading Phenomenology of Spirit, but since the mainstays of the reading group have thinned out, it just felt like we wouldn’t be able to chew through it. By chance I heard that Jin Shixiang was also leading his students in reading The Order of Things, and I thought this…

The “Layers” of the World—A Few Words on Pokemon GO and AR

The “Layers” of the World—A Few Words on Pokemon GO and AR
Recently, the mobile game Pokemon GO has taken the world by storm (China is generally not included in “the world”), and it is worth noting that this should be an emblematic game: a classic application of AR (augmented reality, mixed reality) technology. From this game we can glimpse a possible image of the future world. Although the game’s effects are still very crude at present, it is not hard to imagine what it will become as the relevant technologies develop in the future (those lacking imagination can simply look up the promotional video for Pokemon GO, for example here). Researchers in philosophy of technology are well worth paying attention to…
