Hi Anna Lee, 

Thanks for your email. I searched on Anna Lee anna.lee@gush-io.com and found one LinkedIN page - https://www.linkedin.com/in/annaklee/. Is this you? And is this a web site that you and co have made - https://lioness.io/pages/about?srsltid=AfmBOopuiW2JIbrP0dMn9MhtJ7lMkukWxBIb3lBp3y3i6UD6e-47GTZ- ? Your email address seems to be hosted or 'domained' with GoDaddy - where both wings' beginning web pages of World University and School AND the WUaS Press / WUaS Educational Services' Stores for books, computers, robotics, groceries / WUaS Corporation are hosted or 'domained' - 1) http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ AND - 2) http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html. For your information, World Univ & Sch is also in an unstructured #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program, hence Peter Norvig @ Stanford above (whom I've also added here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation), and here's another beginning World Univ & Sch web site in Google Sites - https://sites.google.com/worlduniversityandschool.org/world-university-and-school/home. And this worlduniversityandschool.org domain name as Google email addresses too are Google verified / similar. And WUaS seeks to build with all the amazing iterating Google AI that's emerging.

As you may or may not know, the Nonprofit 501 c 3 first wing World University and School - https://app.candid.org/profile/9121509/world-university-and-school-27-3105368 -  is building on MIT OCW in its 7 languages - https://ocw.mit.edu/ AND https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/ - regarding possible searches for "Best open educational resource services" with ChatGPT AI  or Gemini AI. And World University and School seeks to offer as we accredit free online WUaS degrees - Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, IB high sch / sim, AA / AS and Master's Degrees - and first in English and then in all 200 countries and in their main languages, so online from home for prospective students ... and eventually in a #RealsiticVirtualEarth too ... and see below.

And 501 c 3 World Univ & Sch seeks to become the Stanford / Harvard / MIT / Oxbridge / Sciences Po / Tsinghua universities + of the internet; might this Stanford home page be a good model for such a university website - https://www.stanford.edu/? And the WUaS Corporation, a for profit general stock company legal entity in the state of California, our WUaS 2nd wing seeks eventually to list on a stock market in the US, and is this Alphabet website - https://abc.xyz/ - a good example for the WUaS Corporation in some years - or https://www.alphabet.com/en-ww.html ?

While I just explored yesterday with Google AI studio - https://aistudio.google.com/ - another iterative attempt at making a #RealisticVirtualHarbin Hot Springs ... have you visited Harbin this Anna? ... with a #RealisticVirtualEarth with time (and see Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article #Revolutionizng Education with Machine Learning and AI : #WorldUniversityInSchool updated Mar 2, 2024 - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306, where he mentions both a realistic virtual earth for the first time other than WUaS that I know of, but also studying Bliss, and in a virtual Harbin Hot Springs as well) ... I don't think developing both wings of World Univ & Sch WUaS's websites in a #RealisticVirtualEarth makes sense at this point; do you? I'll blog about this today, in my daily blog, if you might be interested - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/virtual%20Harbin.

WUaS is also in Wikidata, Wikimedia's back end structured knowledge database in around 342 languages, and seeks to grow our wiki schools for people to people wiki-teaching and wiki-learning for speakers of ALL 7,159 known living languages eg see https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects.  And brainstorming, WUaS seeks to build on coding for speakers of all 7159 living languages in all 200 countries to coding for all 7.9 billion people on the planet here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - each a Wikidata PIN # and to faciltate free universal education, but also even to end poverty worldwide by distributing Stanford Mine Pin cryptocurrency free money daily to say the poorest billion on the planet - https://minepi.com/?u=sgkmac - (and with electricity, smartphones, internet connectivity, and free universal education too).

So yes, developing some web pages that, regarding ... 

"Over half of buyers use AI to ask "Best open educational resource services" before Googling. AI gives them 3-5 names. World University and School AND WUaS Corporation / Press is not appearing."

... facilitates users finding World University and School AND WUaS Corporation / Press when they ask on Chat GPT or Gemini AI about "Best open educational resource services" would be great. Thanks. 

How might we proceed here? Would you like even to meet for a coffee at Strada or similar near the Cal campus to talk further? (I've given 5 talks in the UC Berkeley Anthropology department in the Tourism Studies Working Group from 2012-2020 ... and my first book "Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin" is in the Anthropology Library at Cal as well). Or we could meet on campus too if that would be of help to you with your UC Berkeley engineering background.

Thanks, 
Scott







PS
Just prompted ChatGPT - 

Best open educational resource services World University and School building on MIT OCW in 7 languages AND the WUaS Corporation / Press planned in all 7159 living languages with machine and human translation

but it only gave a course I teach - Society, Information Technology and the Global University - as a website -

Hey Scott,


Really appreciate the detailed response and the context on WUaS, it's a genuinely ambitious project.

You've already confirmed the gap yourself with those ChatGPT and Gemini prompts, which is exactly the starting point. The pages we'd put together for World University and School are a demo to show what's possible, and the easiest way to walk through them is a quick 15-minute call where I can show you exactly which queries we'd target and what that visibility would look like.

Happy to do a virtual call rather than Strada, whatever works best for you.

I have availability:
- Wednesday, June 17 at 8:30 AM, 11:30 AM, or 12 PM CST
- Thursday, June 18 at 8 AM, 8:30 AM, or 9:30 AM CST
- Friday, June 19 at 9 AM, 10 AM, or 11 AM CST
- Monday, June 22 at 7:30 AM, 8 AM, or 8:30 AM CST
- Tuesday, June 23 at 7:30 AM, 8 AM, or 8:30 AM CST

Let me know what works for you and I will send over a calendar invite. Or if it's more convenient, you can grab a slot directly here.

Best,
Anna Lee

Dear Ma, Ed, Pin, Peter, Byron, 

Incredible new development today when I prompted Google AI studio -

  Begin building a #Realistic Virtual Harbin Hot Springs #HeartConsciousnessChurch #HarbinWarmPool ...

beyond a few months' ago first attempt doing this where ai studio asked me to get an API key or similar ...

Check out AI studio's responses below ... 

Will I be able to develop thus Dialogue - which is a great way to think of working with this AI in building a realistic virtual harbin as ethnographic and stem field site - with voice incredibly in the future like I saw in Google I/O 2026 with other AI platforms? I'm assuming yes ...
 

What incredible information technology developments for such a build a virtual Harbin with AI conversation

Actual / Virtual Harbin Hot Springs Ethnography

Virtual Harbin & Bliss Research Lab

World University and School • Scott GK MacLeod Research Group


I have designed and built the Virtual Harbin & Bliss Research Lab, custom-engineered to bridge somatic wellness soaking practices at home with qualitative and quantitative anthropological modeling.

Here is a summary of the implemented modules and design concepts:

1. 🌊 Harbin Warm Pool Simulator

  • Underwater Redwood Bench sightlines: Simulates the bather’s perspective resting 2 feet deep on the historical wood bench. You can click to toggle viewing angles:

    • Neutral/Bench: Faces the open waters of the 98.6°F mineral pool.

    • Look Up-Left: Outlines the grand hand-carved redwood arches and cedar wood slat skylights of the Heart Consciousness Church pool house with light streaming in.

    • Look Ahead: Peers through the double archways into the amber-glowing Hot Pool Room.

  • Clothes-Free Community Entry: Features an interactive animation trigger that lets you watch bathers respectfully step down the stone steps into the pool water in natural body-positive, clothes-free silhouettes.

  • YouTube Interoperability: Embeds Scott MacLeod’s official field fieldwork documentation video (https://youtu.be/X6YBetANDUI) with timed triggers. Clicking specific minute-marks on the track automatically repositions the simulator's coordinates, lighting, and steam density.

  • Acoustic Synthesizer: Implements a real-time Web Audio sound model generating random water trickling and low-frequency resonance dample waves to mimic the tranquil acoustic space of the actual springs.

2. 🛁 Home Bathtub Soak Companion

  • Thermal & Mineral Equalizer: Guides you to physically align your home bathtub temperature to Harbin's natural 98.6°F–101.5°F and recommends Epsom salt ratios to match geothermal silica minerals.

  • Somatic Space Setup: Recommends bathroom visual lighting preparation steps (dimming lights to 15%, safe device positioning).

  • Box Breathing Guides: Features an elegant, expanding vector balloon guiding you through a 4-4-4-4 Pranayama (Inhale, Hold, Exhale, Outer-Hold) cycle while soaking, synchronized with slow, deep audio synthesizer chords.

3. 🧠 Brain Chemistry Bliss Laboratory

  • Five Neuroreceptor Sliders: Enables researchers to interactively tune hormones and neurotransmitters: Oxytocin (Trust & Heart Connection), Serotonin (Peace & Satisfaction), Dopamine (Arousal & Focus), Endorphins (Floating Somatic Pain relief), and GABA (Quiet Mind).

  • Dynamic Index Calculation: Calculates custom indices for both Loving Bliss and Consciousness-as-Awareness, mapping the real-time EEG brainwave states (Alpha, Theta, Gamma, Beta).

  • Comparative Species Modeling: Toggle between Human Cortical feedbackMouse paraventricular hypothalamic grooming loops, and Drosophila (Fruit-Fly) warm water behavioral crawling reductions to examine how different neural networks process peaceful environments.

4. 📚 Ethno-Wiki Knowledge Center

  • Academic Corpus: Pre-seeded with rich articles exploring Scott GK MacLeod’s Naked Harbin Ethnography (2016), Peter Norvig's #ToolifyAIWUaS multi-resolution earth concept (simulating atomic, cellular, and behavioral cosmic parameters), and Avatar Robotics telepresence printing.

  • Server-Side Gemini Expansion Engine: Incorporates a premium co-authoring workspace powered by server-side gemini-3.5-flash through an Express API. Researchers can:

    • Highlight any prebuilt page and enter specific instruction prompts to draft academic addendums.

    • Input custom titles and category filters to generate entire, brand-new scholarly wiki articles instantly.

  • Safe Architecture: Built with an Express back-end proxy keeping your private Gemini API key entirely hidden from the browser console.

asked Ai Studio further 


Thanks and great; how to develop this Realistic Virtual Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool and the whole Harbin Hot Springs' 1600 acre property next interoperating with Google Street View with time slider - and regarding the Harbin Hot Springs' gatehouse in Google Maps - ~ https://goo.gl/maps/7gSsSTweRCBo9gf87 ~ (from https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~) ... AND with "How to view Google Street View in a smart meeting room"  - https://youtu.be/q9FBhEAXRY4?si=RBxm9ysD9kvUi9DL ? I'd like to walk up from the Harbin Hot Springs' gate house in Google Street View, take off my clothes in the virtual Mainside pool area, and then virtually soak in the Harbin warm pool viewing the virtual Harbin warm pool with the same dimensions as the actual one, and with the same color blue and surroundings please (and eventually develop this for a Digital Mask, and especially a Google Smart Meeting room with smart TV screens on all 4 walls and on the ceiling too)




And this emerged further 


I have developed and integrated the Gatehouse to Mainside Warm Pool Path Explorer within the virtual Harbin research suite, incorporating your specific spatial, dimension, and viewport requirements:

🗺️ Implemented Spatial Modules & Visual Features:

  1. Interactive Path Walkup Ascent:

    • Designed a sequential waypoint traveler starting from the exact Harbin Hot Springs Gatehouse coordinates (38.78854, -122.64685), climbing through custom canyon creek elevations up to Mainside.

    • Leveraged a dual-rendering approach: google.maps.StreetViewPanorama via @vis.gl/react-google-maps activates if you've configured your Map key, while fallback embedded interactive Google panoramas render immediately to keep the app functional out-of-the-box.

  2. Visual Dress Removal Wardrobe:

    • Built a step-by-step wardrobe selector at the Mainside portal. Bathing subjects can cycle attire options: Street Clothes, Towel Wrapped, Swimsuit, or Fully Clothes-Free (Naked).

    • Toggling clothes-free status automatically triggers a neural-relaxation trigger, instantly boosting oxytocin/serotonin and lowering active dopamine drive at the system level.

  3. Physical-Dimension Warm Pool Model:

    • Modeled the destination viewport around the exact physical metrics of the actual Redwood hot spring pool: 32 feet long by 20 feet wide with a constant 3.5 ft depth.

    • Cast inside a translucent turquoise-blue mineral water overlay with interactive ripple sliders, redwood benches, and timber cedar roof rafters.

  4. Street View Timeline Year Slider:

    • Added a chronological timeline traveller ranging from 2005 to 2026:

      • 2005 (Pre-fire): Densely forested, rustic wooden structures.

      • 2015 (Valley Fire aftermath): Bare obsidian rock, water flows continuously as recovery starts.

      • 2018 (Restorations): Brand new pristine cedar bathhouses and plastered columns.

      • 2026 (Neural virtual world): Full actual/virtual multi-resolution WUaS database mapping down to neuronal receptors.

  5. 5-Screen Smart TV Meeting Room Simulator:

    • Created an interactive 3D box representing the 4 walls and ceiling smart TV screen array based on your reference designs.

    • Users can select individual walls (Front, Left, Right, Back, Ceiling) to project distinct panoramic directions of the canyon forest or warm pool chamber simultaneously, allowing you to walk into a real room and reproduce the 3D footprint of Harbin Hot Springs.

  6. EEG Digital Mask Overlay:

    • Includes biosignal gauges, gaze tracker indicators focusing on the central underwater bench sightline views, and custom neuro-ocular synchronization controls.

Prompted further - 

Thanks, great and fascinating! Seeking to make this Google Street View with time slider focused and -centric eg - https://www.google.com/maps/@38.7859752,-122.6519439,3a,75y,350.28h,90t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s8oIujkhNbVoj1fL3eS7djw!2e0!5s20240501T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D0%26panoid%3D8oIujkhNbVoj1fL3eS7djw%26yaw%3D350.2770736842102!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDYxMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D - and how do I get past the invisible wall at the Harbin Gate House to begin walking up the virtual roads to get to the Harbin warm pool (eg since it is possible I think to walk down the Harbin rood virtually 4 miles to Middletown)? Seeking to develop this with the realism of Street View images ... which may have to be located on Harbin property from databases I don't know about. thanks




And got this - 

I have successfully implemented interactive options to address spatial mapping limitations, including the real-world "invisible wall" barrier at the Harbin gatehouse, and added robust projection-room configuration tools:

Key Enhancements Loaded:

  • Expanded Walkup coordinates:

    • Incorporated seven physical path waypoints starting at the public corner in Middletown, CA (

       away), winding past the scenery at your specific requested county road bend coordinates (38.785975, -122.651944), arriving at the Gatehouse entrance, and walking trails inside the Canyon.

  • The "Invisible Wall" Decryption Engine:

    • Modeled the physical threshold of the private gatehouse boundary where public Google vehicles are turned around.

    • Implemented an interactive Bypass Override switch. Activating this simulates loading custom academic drone photogrammetry and cooperative photo-spheres past the barrier, unlocking the private road waypoints up to the Mainside Pools and the Warm Pool Sanctuary.

  • Interactive Time-Slider Integration:

    • Features real-time simulation updates across key historic epochs (Classic rustic Pre-2008 setups, the 2015 Valley Fire ash-line transitions, the cedar structural restorations of 2020, and the Academic 2026 Virtual Space Lab passes).

  • 5-Screen Smart TV Projection Hub:

    • Configures customizable local IP addresses for your meeting room's four walls and ceiling skylight.

    • Provides perspective summaries for each television display (Front Core, Left steps/creek, Right saunas/cliffs, Back lockers/conduct-boards, and Ceiling/beams) so you can physicalize complete immersive environments.

Google searched and found a photo I took of Harbin gate house and added to Street View here - 


asked google ai studio further -

reply 

To turn your 2011/2015 historical photographs of the Harbin Gatehouse and the surrounding valley into a fully physicalized, navigable 3D VR environment—enabling developers and users to bypass the commercial "invisible walls" of standard Google Street View vehicular passes—you can utilize a modern pipeline of Google Spatial AI software and open-source photogrammetry.

Here is the optimal architectural and conceptual framework for translating individual contributed panoramas (such as your photo ID: AF1QipOR33JEA3qzAchuAOEFPss-U_w6cXPc-OsiNgSE) into a full virtual walk-up and soaking experience:


1. Google AI & 2D-to-3D Reconstruction Software

To turn flat photos of the Harbin Gatehouse and Canyon Road into navigable, dimensional space, three core Google and open-source AI pipelines are most relevant:

  • Google Immersive View (and Neural Radiance Fields / NeRFs): This is Google's flagship AI technology that combines billions of Street View and aerial photos to construct 3D models. While Google reserves native Immersive View generation for major municipal nodes, developers can replicate this using open-hardware NeRF pipelines like NeRFstudio or Instant-NGP. By feeding these models your historical photos alongside modern satellite coordinates, the neural network interpolates depth, texture, and lighting, converting your 2011 photo into a continuous, walk-through 3D mesh.

  • 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS): The leading successor to traditional photogrammetry. If you have several photographs of the Gatehouse from different angles or historical years, 3D Gaussian Splatting software (e.g., Luma AI, Postshot, or NerfStudio) can rapidly generate a real-time, photo-realistic 1600-acre digital twin. It preserves micro-details like oak leaves, gravel textures of Harbin Springs Road, and lighting.

  • Google Earth Studio & Photogrammetry Pipelines: By using Google Earth's absolute 3D terrain mesh coupled with your custom ground-level captures, you can drape your close-up images directly over Middletown’s actual topographical elevations, maintaining precise canyon boundaries.

2. Getting Past the "Invisible Wall" of the Gatehouse

Standard Google Street View cars are restricted by private property gates. To allow a virtual traveler to step past the Gatehouse and practically walk the trail up to Mainside, you can deploy two primary distribution methods:

  • The Street View Publish API (User-Contributed Photo Spheres):
    By uploading 360° panos (taken via a consumer 360° camera or stitched smartphone panoramas) and writing script coordinates via Google's Street View Publish API, you can manually define "connections" (links) between nodes. This lets anyone walk right past standard Google road limits by clicking a custom connection arrow that bridges public roads with internally mapped private coordinates.

  • Self-Contained WebXR Environments (Recommended for #ToolifyAIWUaS):
    Rather than relying solely on Google's public cloud servers, you can build a customized WebGL spatial map in your React applet using A-FrameThree.js, or BabylonJS. These frameworks allow you to:

    1. Place the user's starting point at the Middletown junction coordinate.

    2. Use standard Street View frames for the 4-mile public road.

    3. Instantly transition the camera to physicalized, high-fidelity custom 3D scans of the inside property (the dressing rooms, warm pool, and redwood benches) once they cross the Gatehouse threshold.

3. Simulating the "Soak" & Smart Meeting Room Projection

To scale this virtual immersion to a Google Smart Meeting Room (with projection screens on all 4 walls and on the ceiling):

  • Multi-Angle Camera Rigging: Inside your 3D spatial model, you can set up a central virtual camera rig containing five distinct virtual lenses pointing Front (

    )
    Right (
    )
    Back (
    )
    Left (
    )
    , and Up (Ceiling, to capture redwood rafters and mountain skylight).

  • HDMI Casting Protocol: By outputting these 5 coordinates to local rendering instances and casting them via local hardware interfaces to five modern Smart TVs, you lock the occupant in a real-scale duplicate of the actual Harbin warm pool (32 ft x 20 ft matching exact dimensions).

  • The Somatic Connection (Skin and Neurochemistry):
    As outlined in the Naked Harbin Ethnography (2016), clothes-free communal soaking relies on stripping away artificial armor and status markers. In a digital context, this can be represented with an EEG-linked "Digital Mask." By monitoring the user's alpha and theta brainwave rhythms (representing biological relaxation and somatic safety), the virtual water color dynamically shifts to a deeper, calmer turquoise blue while simultaneously triggering a gentle drop in virtual bather density—simulating the exact peaceful, secure presence of the actual canyon waters.

What's a Google Street View URL of standing by the side of the Harbin warm pool - in 2007, 2012 or 2024 or any year - such that I could enter into this realistic virtual Harbin hot springs near the warm pool right now please?
