Description

Men all have a well-framed dating app bio. However, we all had a weird and frustrating dating story behind it. No matter what happened on our date, there's only one ending – we never talked again.

The project explores using existing datasets on the Internet and brings awareness of dating data privacy to the audience.

Swipe! Use it as a regular Tinder. If you swipe right, you will get my dating story with the man you matched. The chat stores all the men you connect with and the dating story behind them.

Description

Our goals is to allow users to explore how their self-perception might change as they abandon the normal human form and start to interact with others. The experience leverages minimal interactions and allows players to explore the group dynamics through a series of actions. Along the journey, they are able to interact with other users through four forms of actions: connect, split, detach and duplicate.
