Context

CoinMind draws inspiration from prior work in coin-tossing divination rituals. Two examples of prior work that influenced our design are the I Ching, an ancient Chinese divination system, and the Tarot, a deck of cards used for divination purposes. The work that informed this idea includes research on the use of technology for divination and self-discovery, as well as the application of traditional wisdom in modern contexts. The theory and concepts that relate to the outcome of this project include the principles of the I Ching, which are based on the concept of Yin and Yang, as well as the importance of traditional wisdom in a rapidly changing world.

Additionally, the application of concepts from human-computer interaction and design played a crucial role in shaping the user experience of the CoinMind predictor. For instance, the use of an LCD screen to display the results of the coin tosses and the design of the box that holds the coin are both informed by principles of design and user experience to create an engaging and intuitive user interface. These design and user experience principles ensure that the user can interact with the machine easily and that the results are displayed in a clear and understandable way. Our aim is to enhance the overall user experience and engagement with the ancient divination practice.
