阈限切换与选择:技术双向可供性视角下虚拟化身的隐私计算与表达

Liminal Switching and Choice:Privacy Computation and Expression of Avatars from the Perspective of Affordance

化身形式更迭为人们提供了立体可视的呈现载体,个体在平行时空中会产生多样的隐私需求,该技术帮助人们调整了隐私边界,协助完成了阈限转换。通过扎根理论进行探索性研究,将人机关系纳入人际关系中,以分析双向可供性视角下用户隐私计算后化身展露与保护过程。研究发现化身定制的隐私计算包括“感知”“计算”“调整”三重阶段,其边界形态也会因所接洽的时空特征产生差异。人作为化身的驱动核心能够在有限环境中通过对理性因素、非理性因素的多重感知与调控,利用可视渲染模块、加密与解密模块、动态适应与实时反馈模块和兼容与集成模块控制化身定制过程,以“(人—机)—(机—人)”的隔离式沟通掌握虚拟人际交流中对个人信息的有限可控性,形成个体与群体的马赛克式单向识别组合图景,最终达成动态权变的平衡表露。此外,不同类型的化身边界也帮助人们再一次搭建自我表演的语境剧场,拓展更新自我认知。

The transformation of avatars provides people with a visual presentation medium.Individuals have different privacy needs in different time-space,and avatar customization helps people adjust their privacy boundaries and assists them in liminal conversion.This paper uses grounded theory,incorporating humancomputer relationships into interpersonal relationships to analyze the process of avatar protection and exposure from the perspective of bidirectional affordance in user privacy calculations.The study finds that the process of forming avatar privacy boundaries includes three stages:perception,calculation and avatar adjustment.The form also varies depending on the characteristics of the time-space it engages with.As the driving core of the avatar,individuals can control the customization process in a limited environment through multiple perceptions and regulations of rational and irrational factors.They utilize visual rendering modules,encryption and decryption modules,dynamic adaptation and real-time feedback modules,and compatibility and integration modules.This allows for isolated communication between‘human-machine’and‘machine-human’to achieve limited controllability of personal information in virtual interpersonal communication,forming a mosaic-like unidirectional recognition pattern of individuals and groups,ultimately achieving a balanced and dynamic contingency display.Additionally,different avatar boundaries help people reconstruct the contextual theater of self-presentation,expanding and updating self-awareness.
