How might we explore implications of AI-AR censorship through a playful manner?
Fiji is a playful smart eyewear able to identify objects or people using openCV image processing. Once a target of interest is in view the goggles remove the object from the field of view by darkening the lenses.
Iterations
Over the course of two weeks we iterated through four different prototypes slowly increasing in fidelity.
Iteration 1 Cardboard chain and sprocket prototype with metal mesh lenses. Chain and gears are made of corrugated cardboard inners. This prototype allowed for a proof of concept.
Iteration 2 Laser cut wood and acrylic prototype testing locations, dimensions, and fit. A lower modulus gear was used for the most basic gear teeth mesh test. Adjustments were made for wearer comfort.
Iteration 3 Laser cut acrylic prototype with improved locating features and mounting for components. This proto- type showed that the laser cutter was reducing gear diameter by 0.5 mm, decreasing gear mesh.
Iteration 4 Final acrylic prototype with improved locating, securing, and UX features. Locating features were
emphasized with red acrylic instead of hidden.
Foam was added for user comfort during wear.
