Abstract:
The tourist in the information technology age, and avatar bots: in this talk, I examine physical < > digital tourism with Lego robotics, Brick Street View & Google Street View, conceptually, and in relation to my actual < > virtual Harbin Hot Springs’ ethnographic project. Harbiniana is a physical/digital Bot, who does Watsu, and is an anthropologist: “How would you teach me about Harbin in this early phase of artificial intelligence/machine learning and robotics?“ Harbiniana is also interested in human cultures/counterculture. Furthermore, in this talk I seek to lay the groundwork conceptually for the study of great enjoyment, or loving bliss, in the Harbin warm pool and via an anthropological approach to brain science. A realistic 3D interactive virtual earth at the cellular and atomic too (think Google Street View+ with Brick Street View for Legos+) will give radically new potentials for studying brain chemistry with brain wave head sets, and in the Harbin warm pool, and both actually as well as virtually, physically and digitally. In this presentation, I also suggest that wiki ethnography generation in a realistic virtual earth – which I’m calling, as a new social science method, ‘ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy ‘– is a new kind of fieldwork to actual and virtual Harbin Hot Springs. Lastly, I examine questions of “robotic authenticity,” and for Watsu, or water dance, a creative Harbin innovation – now both actually, and potentially virtually.

Speaker Bio:
Scott G.K. MacLeod is an American academic and Professor of Sociocultural Anthropology at World University and School - worlduniversityandschool.org. He's taught "Network Society, Information Technology and the Global University" on Harvard University's virtual island, and on Penn State Isle in Second Life as a Penn State University instructor. He's taught both anthropology and sociology in real life at Chatham University, the University of Pittsburgh, and at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He received a Master's Degree in anthropology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a Diploma of Research from the University of Edinburgh. His research focuses on the information technology network society age, the world wide web cosmos, the virtual, and actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs, seeking to facilitate the development of a realistic virtual earth for STEM research, and as classrooms (Think Google Street View with time slider +). He is World University and School's founder, president and CEO. WUaS forked successfully in 2017 into a second legal entity, the WUaS Press / Corp, planned with machine translation in all 7,097 living languages. Wiki World University and School is CC-4 MIT OCW-centric (in 5 languages) and CC Yale OYC-centric and seeks to develop major universities in all ~200 countries' main and official languages, as well as wiki schools in all 7,097 living languages too; WUaS plans to offer online CC OCW Bachelor, Ph.D., law, M.D. as well as I.B. high school degrees, partly in group video.

Here are Volcano Alert / Volcano Alarm (in Lego WeDo2 robotics) in the front left -
LEGO WeDo2.0 Volcano Alert
https://youtu.be/mOwp-uhzLcA - but which doesn't run in this video, where the other two robots do run. (The robot I brought last night to SCD also had a part that had fallen off - the green top bit with 2-3 'lights':) ... as a FYI :)
Lego Wedo 2.0 Melikcan ve Volcano Alert
https://youtu.be/jxZlERJ6QOY - this young Turkish kid shows Volcano Alert working around the 40 second mark. And you can get a sense of how the programming works and the other little 'bots' in the project work here -

Hi Nelson, Jing, Mahlon and All,
Thanks for making it possible to give my talk in the Gifford room at UC Berkeley yesterday - http://tourismstudies.org/news_archive/SMacLeod2018.htm ...
You'll find my "HARBIN AND AVATAR BOTS: Robotics and Tourism" in video here ... https://youtu.be/dN80Hm_db2I ... if interested (and here - https://www.youtube.com/WorldUnivandSch).
I also blogged about this today, including adding some further robotics, brainwave headsets, and museums' resources re the Q & A, including the interesting Museums' video talk - https://youtu.be/LM5xtk23cv0 - about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings and looking at remembrances of this from a museum curator's perspective by Rainey Tisdale (who went to Haverford as an undergraduate, and may have Quaker roots as well - https://ems-web.quaker.haverford.edu/MasterCalendar/EventDetails.aspx?EventDetailId=68049) ... or a robotics' perspective.

In response to a question in the Q&A ...
Robots creating a memorial of the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon, and which robots wouldn't be affected sympathizing with the loss expressed in the remembrances and memorials, and in creating a museum exhibit, so that museum curator Rainey Tisdale, who might be overwhelmed by the pathos of what she was seeing, and thus get sidetracked, could focus on other aspects of creating such a remembrance.
Thank you to Rainey Tisdale '94 for coming back to Haverford and speaking to our students as a part of our Fords on Friday program! To hear more of Rainey's tips, check out our blog at http://ow.ly/aO3550jo4jt or her TEDx talk at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM5xtk23cv0&feature=youtu.be …
