82 // Spatial computing with Yiliu Shen-Burke
<p>Is virtual reality useful for productivity software? Yiliu is the founder of Softspace, a VR/AR tool for thought. He joins Mark and Adam to discuss the human brain and body as inherently spatial systems; the question of whether information is fundamentally 2D; and why social comfort is the biggest challenge facing VR today. Plus: how to avoid a dystopian future.</p> <p><a href="https://discord.gg/qFxWPzcenf">Discuss this episode in the Muse community</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/museapphq">Follow @MuseAppHQ on Twitter</a></p> <hr/> <h2>Show notes</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.yiliu.sh/">Yiliu Shen-Burke</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/softspaceninja">@softspaceninja</a></li> <li><a href="https://soft.space/">Softspace</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tybOi4hjZFQ&amp;vl=en">Wim Hof breathing method</a></li> <li><a href="https://olafureliasson.net/">Studio Olafur Eliasson</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-brain-maps-out-ideas-and-memories-like-spaces-20190114/">The Brain Maps Out Ideas and Memories Like Spaces</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/">Oculus</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/oculus-rift-development-kit-dk2">Oculus development kit</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-up_display">heads-up display</a></li> <li><a href="https://acg.media.mit.edu/people/simong/thesis/SpatialComputing.pdf">Scott Greenwald’s Media Lab thesis</a></li> <li><a href="https://youtu.be/gV1sw4lfwFw">Beat Saber</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EajIlG_OCvw">A Beautiful Mind</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/softspaceninja/status/1645818242861002755?s=20">Softspace demo</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-directed_graph_drawing">force-directed graph</a></li> <li><a href="https://stevenberlinjohnson.com/tool-for-thought-b12c170fcc24">Steven Johnson on DevonThink</a></li> <li><a href="https://youtu.be/ErpNpR3XYUw">Google Glass</a>, <a href="https://www.magicleap.com/en-us/">Magic Leap</a>, <a href="https://www.apple.com/apple-vision-pro/">Vision Pro</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.getsupernatural.com/">Supernatural</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vergence">vergence</a></li> <li><a href="https://virtualspeech.com/blog/history-of-vr">history of VR</a></li> <li><a href="https://eprints.gla.ac.uk/178196/1/178196.pdf">PlaneVR: Social Acceptability of Virtual Reality for Aeroplane Passengers </a></li> </ul>

81 // Evergreen notes with Stephan Ango
<p>Quotes from famous people or books can turn a feeling or a concept into a memorable chunk of text—how can we do the same for our own ideas? Stephan is the CEO of Obsidian, and he joins Mark and Adam to discuss notes as personal memes, the balance between freedom and cohesion in plugins, and why it's so hard to be messy in digital tools. Plus: why “tools for thought” rubs Stephan the wrong way.</p> <p><a href="https://discord.gg/qFxWPzcenf">Discuss this episode in the Muse community</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/museapphq">Follow @MuseAppHQ on Twitter</a></p> <hr/> <h2>Show notes</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://stephanango.com/">Stephan Ango</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/kepano">@kepano</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/@kepano">@[email protected]</a></li> <li><a href="https://obsidian.md/">Obsidian</a></li> <li><a href="https://stephanango.com/tangzhong-kanelbullar">Pillowy Swedish cinnamon rolls using the tangzhong technique</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.lumi.com/">Lumi</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/_ericaxu">Erica Xu</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/shida_li">Shida Li</a></li> <li><a href="https://museapp.com/podcast/12-growing-ideas/">Growing ideas with Andy Matuschak</a></li> <li><a href="https://stephanango.com/evergreen-notes">Evergreen notes turn ideas into objects that you can manipulate</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.icloud.com/notes">Apple Notes</a>, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/05/apple-introduces-a-dedicated-journal-app-in-ios-17/">Apple Journal</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettelkasten">Zettelkasten</a></li> <li><a href="https://mastodon.social/@kepano/110226902746669571">stream-of-consciousness writing plugin</a></li> <li><a href="https://docs.obsidian.md/Home">Obsidian developer docs</a></li> <li><a href="https://museapp.com/podcast/70-launchers/">Launchers with Thomas Paul Mann</a></li> <li><a href="https://museapp.com/podcast/59-infinite-canvases/">Infinite canvases with Steve Ruiz</a></li> <li><a href="https://obsidian.md/canvas">Obsidian Canvas</a></li> <li><a href="https://excalidraw.com/">Excalidraw</a>, <a href="https://nicolevanderhoeven.com/blog/20220916-how-to-use-the-excalibrain-obsidian-plugin/">ExcaliBrain</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-api/blob/master/canvas.d.ts">.canvas format</a></li> </ul>
