4.3.3.3.Reactive Space -Visual Memory
The following variations focus on the aspect
of image space long-term memory.So far the
elements demonstrate an immediate dynamic
response to the point of attention.By giving the
image space memory of its state it becomes pos-
sible to have long-term reactions.Essentially this
means that space starts to move based on atten-
tion and its effects influence its state.The closest
comparison I could think of is a geologic land-
scape that is being shaped by external and inter-
nal forces over time.One standing on such a
landscape is unlikely to experience any immediate
change.The landscape is however,in constant
flux at different scales of time and also shaped by
the very people that look at it.
The implementation is a pointer model
where each pointer has a tendency to aim at the
point of attention.The quickness of the response
depends on the distance from the point of atten-
tion.The speed of the change is exponential to its
distance to the point of attention.
