About Kisekae World

This website was first established in 1995 as William Miles Home Page. It was hosted at the University of New Brunswick and used as my research forum for exploring web communication. My biography can be found here.

In the 1990's one of my interests was to explore the use of imaging and graphics on the Internet. My research considered information content and its relationship to transfer performance of 16 colour versus 256 colour images. In 1995 I developed the Charmed Sailor Moon Image Clips website. I was using Japanese animation reduced colour images for the information set.

My work used Java applications to facilitate web enabled computing. This led me to the Kisekae Set non-procedural event model that was first introduced as a Japanese graduate thesis in 1991. I adopted this model to explore new image interactions and data compression techniques.

The Kisekae model was incomplete and lacked a formal foundation for the syntax and semantics of image manipulation. I developed UltraKiss as an implementation of the Kisekae Set model and I attempted to refine the model to reduce inconsistencies in specification.

Later, in 2002, Kisekae World was established as a website to distribute UltraKiss. UltraKiss was the first platform independent Java software developed to modernize and improve the Kisekae Set model.

In 2004 my goal was to consider algorithms for transitioning the Kisekae Set model into 3-dimensional renditions of anime paper dolls. To explore these types of images I built 3-dimensional anime resin figure models.

In 2006 development of UltraKiss was suspended. Kisekae World evolved into a more personal web site where I now display my modeling work and other topics of interest. In 2009 this site transitioned to PHP server content management using Gallery and WordPress technology. This site is now a limited experiment to present quality photographic images of my figure modeling work.

This site will continue to explore interactive communication using innovative technology. My work on automated natural language processing is pending.
