Third Eye is an interactive installation, isolating people’s visual perception from the physical world. The piece is a wearable device composed of two parts: a wifi lens camera, AR glasses, and a re-designed helmet. When put on, the device will offer the user a sequence of mediated perspectives, higher vision, mirrored vision, and upside down vision. The experience environment of Third Eye is composed of three parts: the device, a maze, and the user. Although the system is the same, identical results will occur depending on the user’s individuality and behaviour patterns. This project is thus responding to personal responses and individuality in a world of copiable technologies and copiable experiences.
By creating a mediated space, the piece encourages people to re-explore and re-sense the physical world as they find their way out in the virtual yet physical maze.
