Solo ProjectWhat do you wish people knew about you? What do you wish people would do without you having to ask?
These questions inspired an interactive exhibit inviting viewers to explore strangers’ innermost beliefs and respond with stickers to express resonance and understanding. As visitors engaged, their collective responses formed an evolving data visualization revealing how the Carnegie Mellon community connects with personal values and moral beliefs.









In order to make my interaction intuitive for exhibit viewers, I used two large gears to indicate that my design was meant to be touched. 

Quotes from different interviews I conducted, ranging from wheelchair users to college students, were positioned around the edges of the lower circle, with 24 total perspectives highlighted. When spun, the top circle gave people the option to place stickers to express their reactions to the perspectives they were reading: red stickers to express learning a new point of view, blue to express resonance. 






This project helped me flex my interaction design muscles, and learn how to use physical fabrication tools such as the laser cutter and Cricut in order to create the gears and interactive sticker designs.
