Disney + Inclusive Design + Cognitive Neuroscience = David Resnick

article image placeholderUploaded by @DBPardes
I kind of want to free form this for the first kind of ping pong back to you because you do so much and of course, you're doing work at Disney right now and you've done so many interesting things with Hulu. And you're in that world you're in that world of interface of design for the user and you're also in a world that's looking at where the direction of art is going and empathy and emotions and there's so many things that you talk about

Actually, this is the first time I'm discussing it in kind of a public forum that I've been looking a lot into understanding my form or specific recipe of neuro divergence. And as a part of that, I have an auditory processing disorder as a part of that recipe. And I recently had an experience. I was at a film screening at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures here in Los Angeles

It's created by an Argentine game studio, not a big company, very tiny in comparison to the giant gaming companies out there, but they created the best experience in mixed reality you could say AR or VR that I've ever had and something that they did the best of anyway, I would say two things. The first is use of space

The tiny quantum particles that comprise your hand are blipping in and out constantly. And a physicist, they would tell you, well, it is the same hand because, you know, the quarks and electrons and et cetera that form the hand from moment to moment in time have the identical up down spin. And so really, it's like it's the same electron that is there, but it's not it's not like that electron is moving through space

My prompt question for everyone out there who's listening is how do you think all these things I've talked about are connected? How might you think about integrating them?

However, I will say in the past few months I've had to reconsider all of that and thinking, I don't know, perhaps we are living in a really advanced simulation and everything that we're advancing towards and our knowledge of physics, artificial intelligence and maybe that's going to lead to the answer that it all is, or maybe not

And you started this conversation by really engaging us with an information about who you are as a living, breathing person and how that person enters into these conversations, these philosophical kind of loops that we can sort of roller. Skate in and land up, coming off of a cliff into a whole other place and landing there and having another conversation in another realm that is equally as compelling

I'm loving it. But I think it also adds to when you think about, quote, unquote, connection between two humans, my brain thinks in visuals, and so there are different ones that come to mind of what connection looks like. And sometimes it's this really vibrantly colored tendriled thing is our brain, and there's like these tendrils reaching towards each other and they become sort of fluidly and freely interwoven with each other

And so when I then start to think about doing this from a perspective of VR or AR, I don't want to entirely isolate and lean into the VR because I feel like it's cutting us off from however you want to define reality, right? And I want to keep this phrase I use a lot breaking boxes, blurring lines and imagining the possibilities and embracing nuance and complexity. And so I want to mush these things together

What they see in it is what a majority see in it is what will control the narrative moving forward. And I think all the artists I appreciate create wonderful spaces with their work. Instead of creating something one dimensional, they create something multiplicative, right? It's like the moment you see it, you have thoughts, you have feelings, you have things to say. So I think user space and then the second thing is connect people through fun or something of the sort
