Despite decades of virtual reality (VR) research, current creative workflows remain far from VR founder Jaron Lanier’s musically inspired dream of collaboratively ‘improvising reality’ from within. Drawing inspiration from modular synthesis as a distinctive musically immersed culture and practice, this article presents a new environment for visual programming within VR that supports live, fine-grained, multi-artist collaboration, through a new framework for operational transformations on graph structures. Although presently focused on audio synthesis, it is articulated as a first step along a path to synthesising worlds.

模块化现实：模拟沉浸式空间中的修补

尽管进行了数十年的虚拟现实 (VR) 研究，但当前的创意工作流程与 VR 创始人 Jaron Lanier 的音乐灵感梦想相距甚远，即从内部协作“即兴创作”。本文从模块化合成作为一种独特的沉浸式音乐文化和实践中汲取灵感，通过一种新的图形结构操作转换框架，为 VR 中的可视化编程提供了一个新环境，该环境支持现场、细粒度、多艺术家协作。虽然目前专注于音频合成，但它被阐明为合成世界的第一步。
