![]() Credits: 16,832 | Life in the Third Person! Hmm..I'm not really sure if this is Cyber Lounge-y or Sensory Pleasures-y, but I'll stick with this for now. I was reading an article a couple months ago in PC Gamer about an artist who designed a machine to emulate what it would be like to live life in the third person. That is, he sort of made a set-up where a camera was attached behind him, and sort of looking down on him. The video from the camera is then fed into an LCD of sorts, which is attached to your eyes. Basically, all you see is what the camera looking from behind you sees. Here's a video of the rig in action. Yes, it's just like World of Warcraft, only you are the character! Anyways, I think the paragraph attached with the video brought up an interesting question for ponderance. Quote:
Anyways, I'm curious as to how the forum-goers that be would act or change if you could live life in the third person, or if you lived life in the third person, and nobody could see your face? All answers are correct, so feel free to go nuts!

![]() ![]() Credits: 12,192 | Re: Life in the Third Person! that sounds pretty cool. but for me i would rather be in the first person. I just feel like if i was in third person i wouldn't feel those same feelings that you normally would. like yea you think its cute to see your self kiss someone but its not the same as actually closing your eyes and feeling it. I dont know i think i would rather be in the first person.

Living in 3rd person is no different, except now you look like some sort of an idiot with a camera behind you. It'd be fun to play with and test for an hour or so, but not livable. Now give me a video game that acts like .hack, which sends us into some "world," and then we'll talk. ![]() |

![]() Credits: 10,097 | Re: Life in the Third Person! that would be interesting. im a bit intimidated by the physical problems aspect of the device. but yes, the .hack idea sounds like the best so far, but this is certainly a small step towards that.

![]() Credits: 3,055 | Re: Life in the Third Person! I actually find this to be a bit interesting. Seeing myself in the third person would be odd. I think that as with everything else, it would take some adjustments. If it were me in that position, I believe I would be clumsy at first, but then my brain would adjust. Just as with the experiment with the glasses that put a woman’s world upside down, she had to adjust to the newness of it but within a few days her brain adjusted. What I don’t see is how it would change my mood, or anyone’s mood for that matter. Unless someone were to get highly agitated, by seeing their self in the third person all the time. -snickers- I think that if I looked like an idiot running around with a camera following me all the time then that alone would be enough for me to not want to try this. |

![]() Credits: 19,045 | Re: Life in the Third Person! I don't see it really changing anything as its really you and you are aware of this so I think for the most part people will not change. *ponders for a bit* I wonder if I can get a few of these things and adjust the camera and get all my friends to gather and have a real life Command and Conquer RTS experience with paint ball guns. |

![]() Credits: 3,393 | Re: Life in the Third Person! I think I would like 1st person because it easier to see in front of my self. But I guess it would be pretty cool to see in 3rd person for like a day or two to just see what it is like.
