Description

Our project, entitled “Fireflies”, is a concentration game utilizing a Muse EEG, p5 animation visible through a projector, and a bluetooth enabled jar trigger. The process would be that once our user opens the jar, our animation of fireflies will appear. When our user is prompted to focus, the Muse will transmit that our user is in a state of concentration, prompting the flies in our animation to concentrate in conjunction. We see this game as an interesting jumping off point for many neuroscience related conversations.

Description

This is an installation that represents the process from animal-hunting to animal product production. We found that the decrement of the animal's population is closely related to human consumption. Through experiencing our installation, we hope it can raise people's awareness of this problem and reduce the need for animal products.
