ahhhh

3) A/ 3a. brian

hi all

4) B/ 4a. justin

my first visit here; what's normal?

5) B/ 2b. web3dADM

I just got back (as always) from shlepping my son

6) D/ /\02 1b. Leonard

Sort == new term for Short

7) D/ /\04 3b. brian

not me

8) D/ /\04 2c. web3dADM

*) NORMAL ;-)

*) I try not to be normal ;-)

nothing formal justin unless there is a guest

9) D/ /\06 1c. Leonard

We are all normal, the rest of the world is crazy

10) B/ 2c. web3dADM

#/ just got the Cult3D folks to agree to show up on March 3

11) D/ /\10 4b. justin

what's cult3d

12) D/ /\11 2d . web3dADM

it's another 3D format for the web

13) G/ /\12 4c. justin

different from VRML or X3D?

14) B/ 2e. web3dADM

the interesting thing (IMHO) about cult is that they have a plugin

of some sort for Acrobat

15) D/ /\13 2f. web3dADM

yes different

16) C/ /\15 3c. brian

Acrobat ... didn't know that

17) B/ 2g. web3dADM

so you could create highly formatted PDF files with interactive

3D in them

18) B/ 3d. brian

cult3d seems expensive tho

19) G/ /\17 4d. justin

is it an Active-X type download component?

20) D/ /\19 2h. web3dADM

don't remember BUT

go and get the new "3D Magazine" spring issue...special on

Web3D

21) F/ 1d. Leonard

#/ Anyone used Xeena?

22) C/ /\20 1e. Leonard

3D just arrived NEW SITE = JULY 2014 - http://neuage.us/2014/July/ - Today

23) D/ /\21 2i. web3dADM

no it's on my list

24) C/ /\22 2j. web3dADM

ahhh great Len

25) C/ /\24 1f. Leonard

It appears to be a memory HOG

26) C/ /\25 2k. web3dADM

hmmmm I'm looking forward to your X3D course Len!

27) C/ /\26 1g. Leonard

I'm working on it right now...

21) - 27) dialogue between two people only

28) G/ /\26 3e. brian

online course?

brian doesn’t get a response until 38)

29) G/ /\27 2l. web3dADM

was it hard to install the xeena stuff?

30) D/ /\29 1h. Leonard

Xeena was easy to install...

31) G/ /\30 2m. web3dADM

what do you use to view the X3D?

32) D/ /\29 1i. Leonard

The downloads are big - particulary Java 2

33) D/ /\29 1j. Leonard

I have DSL so that's not really a problem

34) G/ /\33 2n. web3dADM

yeah I'm a little concerned about installing Java2 on my machine

at work....will it screw up the other browsers?

35) D/ /\34 1k. Leonard

Xeena has a X3D -> VRML XSL translator - then use your

favorite

36) D/ /\34 1l. Leonard

I installed the Java 2 SDK

37) G/ /\36 2o. web3dADM

so you view with VRML?

38) D/ /\28 1m. Leonard

Brian: I will be teaching the X3D course at the VRML 2000

Conference

39) C/ /\38 3f. brian

oh ... ta

40) D/ /\39 1n. Leonard

I will be offereing it on-line through Digital University sometime this

41) C/ /\40 3g. brian

can't make it

42) ---- 1n. Leonard

spring

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 40 ABOVE)

43) C/ /\40 2p. web3dADM

cool

44) C/ /\40 2.q web3dADM

I'd like to do one for ZDU but they don't seem interested yet

45) D/ /\36 1o. Leonard

Righ now VRML is the only mechanism for viewing X3D.

46) C/ /\34 1p. Leonard

No one has written an X3D compliant browser - spec not final yet

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 45 ABOVE)

47) B/ 3h. brian

still confused about x3d

48) D/ /\47 2r. web3dADM

so are most people brian

49) F/ 3i. brian

r u talking about blaxxun and shout3d implimentations or

something else

50) B/ 1q. Leonard

They are still debating some wrapping issues

pauline joined.............

51) A/ 5a. pauline

hello there....

52) A/ /\51 2s. web3dADM

hey pauline!

53) C/ /\52 5b. pauline

hiya sandy ! how are things going ?

54) B/ 1r. Leonard

blaxxun and Shout have browsers based on their proposals, but no

ones proposals were adopted in totality

55) A/ /\51 1s. Leonard

Hi Pauline

56) A/ /\55 5c pauline

hi leonard !

57) F/ 3i. brian

what do u refer to when u say x3d then?

58) B/ 3j. brian

network lagged NEW SITE = JULY 2014 - http://neuage.us/2014/July/ - Today!!

59) D/ /\57 1t. Leonard

Think of X3D as redoing the infrastructure of VRML. It is not a change

60) D/ /\57 1u. Leonard

in functionality, but a change in the language.

61) G/ /\60 3k. brian

i thought it was a subset of vrml?

62) D/ /\57 2t. web3dADM

x3d is VRML with an XML syntax

63) B/ 1v. Leonard

Of course, Core X3D is MUCH smaller than VRML - about 1/2

the nodes

64) B/ 3l. brian

to allow small client downloads

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 61 ABOVE)

65) F/ 5d. pauline

are there any add-ons compare vrml with x3d ??

66) D/ /\65 2u. web3dADM

add-ons?

67) B/ 1w. Leonard

Core is a subset. The browsers looked to come in at about 50K

68) 1x. Leonard

they will download with the content

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 67 ABOVE)

69) G/ /\66 5e. pauline

i mean additional nodes, for example ?

70) D/ /\69 1y. Leonard

No additional nodes for X3D right now

71) D/ /\70 2v. web3dADM

you can create your own...somehow

72) F/ 2w. web3dADM

what is happening with extension mechanisms?

73) F/ 3m. brian

has the blaxxun and shout releases thrown a spanner into the works?

74) C/ /\70-715f. pauline

** ah..i c..

75) D/ /\73 2x. web3dADM

i think the blaxxun & shout stuff has helped! shows what is

possible with no plugin

76) F/ /\75 3n. brian

but what about compliance ... or don't u see that as too important?

77) E/ /\76 2y. web3dADM

compliance is very important

but it's unclear to me how it will happen

78) C/ /\77 3o. brian

yeh

79) B/ 1z. Leonard

There are proposals to add NURBS, multi-textures, and

something else (I forget)

80) F/ 3p. brian

so does xeena require java 2?

81) D/ /\80 2z. web3dADM

yeah think so

81) D/ /\80 1aa. Leonard

You can run Xeena with Java 1.1.7 (or so)

82) B/ 3q. brian

i heard microsoft won't be supporting java2 in next ie

83) C/ /\82 2aa. web3dADM

oh great

84) B/ 1bb. Leonard

There is a subgroup that is working on compliance someone from

NIST Java is now available as a pluggin

85) B/ 5g. pauline

sorry...be back in a min....

86) B/ 1cc. Leonard

Of course, we all know what pluggins mean

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 84 ABOVE)

87) B/ 1dd. Leonard

wish i could get to a web3d conference some time!

101) G/ /\100 2hh. web3dADM

where do you live brian?

102) D /\101 3y. brian

brisbane, AU

103) F/ 4e. justin

What VRML options work within AOL?

104) D/ /\103 3z. brian

dunno

105) C/ /\102 2ii. web3dADM

ahhh an ausse...a bunch of good vrml folks there

106) D/ /\103 2jj. web3dADM

I don't believe AOL supports VRML at all

107) F/ 4f. justin

Will X3D work better there because it's Java-based?

108) D/ 2kk. web3dADM

which really sucks...but i'm not completely sure

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 106 ABOVE)

109) F/ /\107 2ll. web3dADM

X3D is not necessarity Java based that is just 1 implementation

option

110) F/ /\107 2mm. web3dADM

I'm sure there will be stand alone and plugin versions of X3D viewers

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 109 ABOVE)

111) F/ 3aa. brian

so did len say x3d not finalised yet?

112) D/ /\111 2nn. web3dADM

x3d is not finalized yet...yes true

i think the final spec is due by siggraph time this summer

but a lot should happen at the web3d conference too

113) G/ /\112 3bb. brian

is a lot of business done there?

114) D/ /\113 2oo. web3dADM

yeah quite a bit i suppose....most of the working groups meet

115) C/ /\113 3cc. brian

there's not a lot of info about the BUSINESS of web3d

116) C/ /\115 2pp. web3dADM

ahhh you mean money business?

117) B/ 3dd. brian

maybe someone should write a regular column

i'm interested in what makes some of these companies tick!

118) B/ 3ee. brian

eg. blaxxun, shout etc

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 117 ABOVE)

119) B/ 5h. pauline

124) B/ 2ss. web3dADM

seriously...get the new "3D Magazine" issue on web3d

125) C/ /\124 3gg. brian

ok we'll probably get it here in oz in a few months! :(

126) B/ 2tt. web3dADM

ecommerce is certainly a good app...should help

127) C/ /\126 2uu. web3dADM

it may be up on there web site soon www.3dgate.com

128) ?/ 3hh. brian

thanks

129) F/ 5j. pauline

are there a lot of e-commerce sites doing vrml or 3d ??

130) D/ /\129 2vv. web3dADM

definitly growing

131) C/ /\126 3ii. brian

seems to have taken of (relatively) over the last 6 onths

132) D/ /\129 2ww. web3dADM

ahhhh! www.3dgate.com has the new issue!

133) D/ /\129 2xx. web3dADM

don't know if the content is online though

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 1122 ABOVE)

134) C/ /\133 3jj. brian

135) - 2yy. web3dADM

there is a good list of products from my article that is

downloadable it appears

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 133 ABOVE)

136) C/ /\107 2zz. web3dADM

the chat does that often justin

137) B/ 4g. justin

We're building a VRML/X3D content implementation

138 C/ /\137 2aaa. web3dADM

*) do tell ;-)

139) C/ /\138 4h. justin

compositing real-world data for free-roaming simulation

140) G/ /\139 2bbb. web3dADM

free-roaming simulation? what do you mean?

141) B/ 4i. justin

still frustrated by VRML limitations

142) C/ /\141 2ccc. web3dADM

yep lots of implementation hassles

143) D/ /\141 4j. justin

essentially a magic carpet to go anywhere on Earth

challenge is to stream data and create models "on-the-fly"

144) C/-G/ /\143 2ddd. web3dADM

very cool....did you see Chris Thorne's article on getting rid

of seams that would be relevant to you also

145) F/ 4k. justin

curious whether x3d will really help, or whether we'll have to

follow another path

146) D/ /\141 2eee. web3dADM

VRML doesn't stream really and yeah integrating with database

and dynamic stuff is not easy

147) C/ /\146 4l. justin

yes, saw that geovrml thread. Chris is very good in this

area

148) C/ /\146 4m. justin

We'd discovered that problem last year, and switched to IFS

because of it

149) G/ /\148 2fff. web3dADM

my guess is that it will be a while until x3d helps...but it's hard to

say...do you have hard deadlines?

150) C/ /\149 4n. justin

what's mobile map?

156) D/ /\155 2lll. web3dADM

terrain visualization i think

157) B/ 4s. justin

not finding them fast enough. I think *.com will find them both

Mobile Maps may be with HighLand Software

158) B/ 6e. Gordon

Cool..

159) B/ 4t. justin

Both are real-world streaming 3D viewers

160 --- 4u. justin

One of these companies will have a full solution within the

year I predict

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 159 ABOVE)

163) B/ 2nnn. web3dADM

i think there is an israeli company also that some

terrain viz stuff with VRML

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 183 ABOVE)

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 183ABOVE)

186) B/ 2uuu. web3dADM

Hopefully in the near future I will start asking folks to send me

187) B/ 6m. Gordon

I still havn't seen that famous "Aztec" vRML

226) C/ /\218 2aj. web3dADM

ahhh so you have the file called foo.wrl.gz ??

227) C/ /\226 6z. Gordon

yeh

something like that

most of the old VRML is made that way

228) B/ 5o. pauline

phone rings...hang on..

229) ?/ 6aa. Gordon

double extension

230) C/ /\218 2ak. web3dADM

i just name all the files .wrl which is annoying

231) --- 2al. web3dADM

right

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 230 ABOVE)

yeh

233) G/ /\231 2am. web3dADM

are you on a PC gordon?

234) C/ /\231 6cc. Gordon

the major problem is that when I download those double

extension VRML

235) D/ /\233 6dd. Gordon

Yes I am on PC it stops loading inlining of texture and

geometry when it encounter the problem

236) C/ /\231 2an. web3dADM

hmmmmm so the VRML refers to other .wrl.gz files?

237) C/ /\236 3ss. brian

just rename starting wrl.gz

238) G/ 5o. pauline

which browser do you use, gordon ?

239) --- 6ee. Gordon

It simply doesn't recognise it

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 234 ABOVE)

240) --- 3tt. brian

all inlines can remain wrl.gz

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 237 ABOVE)

241) D/ /\240 2ao. web3dADM

242) --- 6ff. Gordon

even when I change it from Windows System

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 239 ABOVE)

243) --- 2ap. web3dADM

just rename the top level file to a .wrl file

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 241 ABOVE)

244) C/ /\240 4ff. justin

right, my experience is they should read wrl.gz the same

arman joined.............

245) D/ /\238 6gg. Gordon

well, i am using IE 5

246) B/ 5q. pauline

some versions of netscape can't pickup the cosmo plugin....

247) C/ /\244 2aq. web3dADM

is it expecting the textures in another directory?

248) A/ 2ar. web3dADM

hi arman

249) B/ /\242 6hh. Gordon

and it doesn't load when it is suppose to load

250) A/ 5r. pauline

251) --- 6ii. Gordon

I mean the wrl.gz file

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 249 ABOVE)

254)6jj. Gordon

it can't recognise it......

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 251 ABOVE)

256) --- 6kk. Gordon

it can't go past the initial world loading, so can't load...

(NOTE: THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 254 ABOVE)

257) B/ 4gg. justin

Our CosmoP is loading textures 180 degrees backwards from WorldView or Cortona

258) C/ /\257 6ll. Gordon

hehe

259) G/ /\257 2at. web3dADM

is that a bug or unspecified behavior with the spec justin

260) G/ /\256 5s. pauline

it starts loading and then stop, Gordon ?

262) G/ /\256 4hh. justin

Do you get any geometry Gordon?

263) B 6mm. Gordon

lots of probelm to address to Cosmo

264) D/ /\262 6nn. Gordon

7. DATA FOR case study SEVEN INSTANT_MESSENGER

Case study 7 raw data for IM

EXAMPLE IV.

Here is a fragment of an IM conversation between mutual acquaintance, who have never met physically. The conversation had started out about spirituality but the male (speaking in capital letters) quickly turned it into a sexual theme with the female finally ending with "thats (sic) what i (sic) thought you were going to say.....but i didnt want to go there!" At this stage the female writer (lower case text) could have been revealing a familiarity with social norms (ie. Male sexual behaviour) or with IRC practices or both. Without other cues: visual, knowledge of the participants and their familiarity with one another, it will be difficult to define the "talk". Here the grammar, fonts and abbreviations are all significant. Several of the abbreviations are shorthand for several words. Two in this IM I am not familiar with: IBE in line 14 and OBE in line 11. In line 10, LOL is shorthand for lots of laughs. It is also used for "lots of love", but in this context I believe it is "lots of laughs" as it follows the word "HE", as in "he he he". To some extent the textual "appearance" of IRC script is accidental. If people are not skilled at typing, they make a lot of errors trying to keep up with IRC conversation. This is especially true in chatrooms where there are several people all 'speaking' at the same time. Nevertheless, contributors do also use text forms in deliberative ways. I will reproduce the extract first as it downloads from the IM screen, where limited window and scroll capacity makes it visually confusing. Then I will provide a provisional transcription, highlighting some of the interpretive complexities of this dialogue.

Already evident is the increasing degree of regression in the dialogue. By line 24 participants are referring back across more than one exchange to continue the discussion. By the end, they refer back to multiple exchanges. Part of my analysis will focus on how far this is a specific condition of IRC/IM chat, not depictable in spoken texts.

EXAMPLE V.

This is another example of an Instant Messenger dialogue. And as I was one of the participants I am able to give a different interpretation than I would for Example IV. With any conversational analysis the interpretation is key to the understanding of the textual interaction. There are limitations to how people speak with others they are already familiar with. One of the areas of on-line conversation I will investigate is the differences between conversations of known participants and unknown. Most chatrooms conversations are between participants unknown to one another. Because of nick-names in chatrooms it is often difficult to know the gender, nationality or social positioning of the "speakers". In IM, the "speakers" are generally known to one another as they establish IM contact for a specific purpose. Instant messenger is thus similar to face-to-face talk in that participants already are familiar with each other, even if through only a few correspondences.

One person, with whom I no longer dialogue, I got to know quite well over a short time period on IRC. This person has a history of psychiatric illness, confirmed not only by her, but also several others on my buddy list. (IM has category lists such as Buddy, family, Class-mates) Most of our chats were just bantering and at times quite silly. Our IMs were more entertainment than anything and provided me with a break from the stresses of every day life. However, there were times when this person drifted into suicidal talk, wanting 'to return to her home in the cosmos', her cue that she "wanted to die." Mood and directional changes affect the dialogue even without having tonal or gesture signals. This can be read back within the flow of talk by creating a string of text of lines 1, 7, and 9, or as coded above: 1>7>9. It is line 9, when the person says "on this plane", that the message becomes clear. Even though it is using the same text: "on this plane", by line 9 it has taken on new meaning, following line 7 "I am am (sic) not going to be around too much longer". It is now clear the person is thinking of dying.

The following has the other party's name deleted. Until this scenario begins the respondent was telling jokes and seemed quite happy. As this stage I have only arranged the text into single exchanges, omitting the full transactional coding (as above.) Instead I have added interpretive commentary, to indicate the response processing I will undergoing as I anticipated in the exchange. At a later period I intent to use the more objective "coding" on this transcript as well, to test the efficiency of my own "intuitive" conversational responses.

@@@@@@: Terrell......we will probably never meet on this plane

@@@@@@: realize that

T Neuage: really we will never meet [at this point I thought she meant because she lived in California and a I lived in Australia - and due to the distance this would never go beyond a cyberfriendship.]

T Neuage: why not

@@@@@@: I dont know

T Neuage: but you believe that?

@@@@@@: I am am not going to be around too much longer [here I first realize she is talking about leaving the world]

T Neuage: that is not true

@@@@@@: on this plane

T Neuage: why do you say that

@@@@@@: it is so

T Neuage: that is silly stuff

T Neuage: it is not so

T Neuage: for what reason would you leave

@@@@@@: it ois time soon

T Neuage: i am not into control but you can't go

T Neuage: it is not time soon

@@@@@@: but I will always be with you [a metaphsical translation being that she believes she will die and her spirit will be with me]

T Neuage: who told you that that you will leave

T Neuage: it is not true

@@@@@@: I am not sure.....but I am am being taken soon [here begins the 'I will be taken' beliefs. She claims to be an 'experiencer' - an abductee.]

T Neuage: you need to be around different poeple

T Neuage: by whom [this refers back to 21]

@@@@@@: it is not people [this confirms she is not talking about earthlings]

T Neuage: if they take you can they come and get me too

@@@@@@: I have had a good life [proclaiming her death sentence here]

T Neuage: and you will have a better one Here on this planet

@@@@@@: I have to go home soon

T Neuage: where is your home

@@@@@@ : inside my heart

@@@@@@: because.....this is not my life

T Neuage: It is not fair for you to have information that yhou won't share with me

T Neuage: I thought we were mates

T Neuage: mates share

T Neuage: tell me

@@@@@@: I gave up my life.....so what is left is not up to me

T Neuage: what

T Neuage: come on you can't believe that

@@@@@@: I should be dead.....should be....and am not [proclaiming her death sentence again]

T Neuage: no you should not be dead

@@@@@@: yes

T Neuage: you can not trade or sell your soul

T Neuage: that is myth

@@@@@@: no

T Neuage: reality is what you are in right now

@@@@@@: my daughter was my dear friend and she died 26 years ago from an overdose of heroin

T Neuage: what about your daughter now

@@@@@@: I really better not tell you anymore

T Neuage: up to you

T Neuage: we can change the subject

@@@@@@: she is still my friend.....we are not like mother and daughter....not at all

T Neuage: what about the daughter you said died

T Neuage: mixed me up

@@@@@@: never mind

T Neuage: ok

T Neuage: how is your bird [time to # - change the topic]

The next day this respondent was back on-line, seemingly with little memory of the day before conversation. Apart from the psychological implications of such conversations, systematic analysis shows that such conversation may seem aimless in structure, but it is in fact a structured conversation. "Casual" format is carrying serious social, and maybe psychological, consequences. Yet I have never met this person. Nor am I sure of how our interaction operates within this construction of a social self.
