This is an "enchanted object" that transforms the interaction between two people. The Body Language Spectacles are glasses that simultaneously translate another person's body language, and what it means, into words, all of this embodied in a everyday wearable device. They reveal what the other is unconsciously communicating, thus leading to more genuine interactions in different contexts. Exploring the intersection of physical and digital interaction, the glasses alter the perception of ourselves, and others.
Enchanted objects are ordinary objects that make up the very fabric of daily living, augmented with extraordinary capabilities. This project was meant as a dialogue between fiction and invention, aiming to find a way for users to experience the world by perceiving information outside of their sensory capabilities.
Individual project done in the context of Prof. M. Newcomb's Technology I studio, Pratt Institute, Fall 2015.
