Roadmap

If you had to build this project over summer 2022 and make it a real, working, interactive prototype / improved exhibit for public audiences, what would be involved? 

If we had more time, we would like to incorporate feedback from our exhibit to improve the experience. This includes exploring different video content based on what resonates with people more, considering other music tracks to play in the background and whether the audio could also correspond to the user's mental focus, and exploring novel work/life applications where BCI could be incorporated to push this idea to more applications. For further provocation, we'd also like to explore more of the ethical components of BCI within the home office context.

Tactically, we hope to also make the experience even more multi-sensory. The video and audio instructions are currently exported as part of the same video. As next steps, we plan to export them as separate files. This way, the guided instructions could be played at a consistent pace and the video being projected could not only become more/less pixelated, but also speed up or slow down more dramatically based on the user's mental focus. Decoupling both aspects would have allowed for an even more compelling experience where the user can feel like they are controlling the projection in more dramatic ways.
