⏳ Communication Model under Virtual Reality of Time

RQ: What is the optimal model of communication under the manipulated time perception?
SEAS ‘26 Shutaro Aoyama

👓 Background: Time perception can be manipulated by VR

MetaChron Platform (Landeck, et al.)
- A project by Neuroscientists, Psychologists, Computer Scientists and Philosophers from multiple universities in Europe
- However,
  - Applications are limited to psychopathological conditions
  - Method of manipulation of time is limited
Interface That Enables to Coexist Real-Time and Slow-Motion. (Muramoto, et al)
- Shows different images to Left and Right eyes
- However
  - Research limits its scope to the study of methodology
TL:DR; We can manipulate time perception using VR.

💭 My Research

However, current applications are all about time perception of indivisuals
- How about time manipulation during inter-personal communication?
To think about that, we need a new model of communication
- RQ: What is the optimal model of communication under the manipulated time perception?
Current model: assuming shared and continuous flow of time
- We assume that we all share the same “moment”
- Communication doesn’t work under time-manipulation
New model: Live in one’s manipulated time, and synchronize when needed.
- “Elastic Sync”
- Model:
  - Algorithm to cluster people and manipulate people’s time speed
- Experiment in Non-VR

🌟 Applicatons

By applying time perception manipulation to communication,
Multithreaded Voice communication
- Current voice communication: Half-duplex Communication
  - Only one person can talk at the same time
- With manipulated time, multithreaded voice communication?
Realtime & interactive lecture that can be time-manipulated
- Do time-manipulations like “go back 10sec” “fast-forward” “pause”
- In a real-time and interactive lecture
