Concept
Political Vision physically visualizes the bias of news channels and how they can manipulate our political viewpoints. The project controls the wearer's field of vision based on how they interact with search engines on a web application - just like how news channels can purposely change our perspectives by suppressing or reinforcing certain news items.
No items found.
Technical Aspects
- Political Vision consists of a hand-coded website displaying various news channels with which the user can research any topic.
- The users selection of news channel is sent from the website to an Arduino via node.js.
- The Arduino operates motors, and is connected to a gyroscope that measure head rotation.
- The motors open and close panels attached to the users head based on their news channel selection.
