For Want of a Nail (VR-glasses as a tool) | Database of Machine Vision in Art, Games and Narratives

Brief description

In this scene, Rava is trying to replug Cordelia's transmitter cable by trying to use a "mono-lens" (camera) attached to her VR interface glasses to see inside Cordelia's chassis, but the opening is too small and the transmitter cable keeps sliding out of her hand. Cordelia is on the whole time. (Kindle Loc 9)

Pull Quotes

"With only a single camera attached, the interface [VR] glasses didn't give Rava depth perception as she struggled to replug the transmitter cable."
