| DESIGN NAME: Fractal Flower Eye PRIMARY FUNCTION: Brain Exercises Interface INSPIRATION: Unlocking Human-AI Co-Creation: The interface leverages human brain data to generate breathtaking visuals, merging manually crafted narratives with advanced brain algorithms. A brain-controlled AI enhances visual interactions, while human input infuses emotion and movement into 3D fractals, making untouchable consciousness visible through intricate spatial patterns. Full process transforms your mind into tangible media collections of memories. A dream of living "sun" is seamlessly integrated. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Fractal Flower Eye translates neural signals into mesmerizing visuals, fostering a symbiotic relationship between human mind and AI-driven art. By combining brain data and 3D mathematical algorithms, it generates dynamic, ever-changing displays that reflect emotions, thoughts, experiences. Different elements merge into a captivating narrative of girl shrouded in time within space, exemplifying her dedication to human augmentation. while stunning 3D creation demonstrates that AI can augment, rather than replace, human innovation. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Use your brain to mind control and create engaging visual projection. Modular design projects fractals onto 3d projection, creating an immersive experience. Pre trained brain activities detect emotions and focus levels, enabling interpolation in 2D and 3D. This tech lets our audience use their mind to create interactive art, through neuroscience, demonstrating AI's potential to augment human innovation. People can also print out their brain flower to take home, each person can have their own visual Flower Eye patterns because their brain waves are unique to their consciousness. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started 2019 in Boston, Harvard University, later modified with diffusion model during 2022. It was exhibited in London, HongKong, Paris in 2023 and 2024. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Flower Eye utilizes a brain computer interface to generate 3D fractals based on human brain activity. It employed electroencephalograp SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The digital version is modular projected on 4 sides The eeg data is pre trained to detect happy sad focus and unfocused Triggers on or off pulling for a quintic formula involves modifying the complex iteration formula to achieve cubic symmetry Terms are added to let the brain input to maintain 3D symmetry while preserving 2D cross sections The result is a fractal with intricate symmetrical structure in 3D and consistent 2D patterns Transferred into a diffusion model for interpolation This tech enables creation that can be explored in both 2D and 3D TAGS: AI, generative ai, graphics, digital media, fractal, 3d, wellness, BCI, cognitive science, diffusion RESEARCH ABSTRACT: HCI and Neuroaesthetics Investigate brain-computer interfaces, BCIs, in emotion regulation; Explore human emotions, cognition, with immersive aesthetic interface Methodology: Responsive environments with brain data detection and real-time interface; User centered process involving co-creation workshops and usability testing Results: Invented a novel BCI based interface responding to user emotions and cognitive states Insights and Impacts: Emotions regulation can be aided through immersive visual enhancement; Developed design framework applicable to psychiatry CHALLENGE: Data Collection: EEG sensors Participants: 20 with sleep loss It's hard to isolate facial expressions signals with brain signals, eeg, many times when users move their mouse or eyes, the interface detached emg signals, then the data streaming gets delusional. Later changed into three layers of data collection to cancel out the emg influences.
