Embodied Interaction Advanced HS2015 (Max Rheiner, Martin Feuz, Joël Gähwiler)
Movie: Stranger Than Fiction (2006)
The Transparent Self is a future scenario where all personal data is publicly available and can be read by any digital device or service. The body is extended with self-monitoring devices that deliberately upload a person's inputs (e.g. food consumed, quality of surrounding air), states (e.g. mood, arousal, blood oxygen levels), and performance (mental and physical) to the global network. The data is then automatically made available to other devices in the person's close space (eg. buildings, transportation vehicles, doors, etc.) or virtual services in distant data centers (health tracking, smart insurances, etc.).
