A Physical Digital Interaction exploring the idea of Mind over Machine.
This project explores a coupling between the organic and the mechanical, between the human mind
and technology.
With the advent of technology, the Attention span of people, especially of children is declining. Every
Digital action is done with a mouse click, leaving us surrounded by a whirlpool of information. In order
to test the Attention of people, I have tapped into an Electroencephalograph chip embedded head gear
(Mind flex toy) and with the help of open source software like Processing and Arduino, I have computed
values coming from the Human Brain and converted them into beautiful patterns, inspired from
Spirograph.
When the human mind interacts with the visuals directly, one is in total control of his/ her capability to
focus one`s attention and experience the control he/she has on the visuals running on the screen,
which acts as a gauge to one`s attention strength.
