Reveal Project - Personal Data Mirror

by NYT R&D 

We all experience the world in a highly personalized fashion. And as the physical world becomes increasingly digital, computing is becoming more connected to our physical selves.

We’ve seen the rapid development of “natural user interfaces” that invoke the digital world by recognizing our voices, our gestures and even our faces, creating a more seamless integration of computers into our everyday environments. Additionally, a flurry of new consumer health and lifestyle devices that measure anything from how much we move to how deeply we sleep are evidence that biometric data are becoming accessible as a means to reflect about our personal wellbeing.

The R&D Lab’s Reveal is a mirror platform that we’ve designed to explore how the relationship between information and the self is evolving and how media content from the New York Times and others might play a part.
