Bearing similarities to the Emoto project we looked at over the Summer, Mithru Vigneshwara's Aleph of Emotions uses location-based Twitter information to measure the 'mood' in various cities around the world.
Looking like a traditional camera, the user points the device in any
direction and, combining the technology of a GPS, a smart phone and
openFrameworks, the Aleph of Emotions captures and displays the
emotional state people in major geographical locations.
This is
another example of technology merging with intuitive design to measure
or record concepts previously considered too abstract and intangible to
be turned into meaningful data.
