Eyemotion
This prototype imagines a near-future scenario where the city becomes an emotional machine that sees, feels, and even reconfigures its function in response to human emotions. This artefact interprets emotions from the facial expressions of people as new environmental factors that are manifested through a shifting display of colour and form as corollaries to a spectrum of psychological states, as either reinforcement or intervention. Â At the meta-scale, these robots can be networked to compute a group mood index over time from individual expression data. Ultimately, the user experience is one of personal attention as well as community building and spectacle. It encourages deliberate collaboration between visitors to trigger novel responses and urban situations.
