I have Sony VR and NASA Does have these videos....
Scott, you have provided some excellent information. However, it is clear (to me, anyway) that NASA simply doesn't have the 3-D shots and videos of the earth that I'm talking about.
Now, of course, it may not work, but to have the psychological effect that I am thinking of, the 3-D images and videos need to be taken from far enough out in space to see the entire orb of the earth from varying positions and orientations.
And more importantly, the images and videos must allow us to see the totality of the planet with the 3-D inducing phenomenon of
"parallax," set against the backdrop of the stars and the moon if possible.
I also want to see fast moving (highly sped-up) 3-D videos (taken from a fixed position in space) of, again, the
entire globe (with poles oriented left and right) in order to literally see the reality of the vast oceans, and that of our great human metropolises, being spun around - topsy-turvy - in its standard
"rotisserie cycle."
However, instead of viewing a cycle that normally takes a mere 24 hours to complete (which is amazing in and of itself), in this case, I'm talking about watching it transpire in perhaps a single minute.
In other words, a fast spinning version of this...
...turned sideways (perhaps a little further away), and seen in full parallaxial (3-D) glory (as if one's own two eyes were viewing it from a position in outer space that fulfills the conditions of this thought experiment).
Now, to top that off,
if we could also add to that scenario a kind of "Google Maps" (but higher in resolution) situation where the space video camera zooms in-and-out of one of the
"right-side-up" cities on the top of the orb...
(Augusta, Australia, for example, when all of its approximately 1100 citizens are standing out in the streets and waving to the camera at a designated time)
...and then immediately zooms in-and-out of one of the
"upside-down" cities at the bottom of the orb...
(New York, for example, when millions of its "upside-down" citizens [relative to the Augustans] are also standing out in the streets and waving at the camera at the same designated time)
...then that would be even better (especially if you can imagine squishing the orb into the shape of a "coin-like" disk, where the bottoms of the soles of the shoes of the Augustans are almost touching the bottoms of the soles of the shoes of the New Yorkers, as both groups wave to the camera).
The blurry dialogue reads as follows...
Hey, what's up?
Oh nothing. What's up with you?...
...There's something fishy here, but I'm not sure what it is.
And the point of the illustration (and, indeed, the point of this post) is that most humans are simply not conscious enough to realize just how strange our situation truly is.
I mean, here we are, billions of lifeforms, magnetically adhered to the surface of this spinning orb, flying through space at approximately 67,000 mph. Yet it all feels so natural to us that, again, due to what seems to be our attenuated level of consciousness, we simply are not viscerally aware of just how bizarre our situation truly is.
Hence the suggestion of gimmicks such as my 3-D visions of the earth,...
(or how about a few healthy doses of LSD under the right conditions)
...to help wake us up.
