The Future Mundane

Our ability to manage smart technologies effectively is key to the field of Human Data Interaction, which seeks to shape systems design and empower users by implementing core principles of legibility, agency, and negotiability. However, how these principles manifest in practice is yet to be fully understood by experts leading to end-users’ perplexity.

Using an immersive game experience involving visual, kinaesthetic, and auditory dimensions, players explore the notion of consent as well as traversing various technologies ontologies, building an understanding of their differing functions and operations, such as edge computing and cybersecurity practices. For the narrative context of the game: the player attempts to stop a hack of the caravans AI system. The unique approach of the experience is to ‘dietetically situate’ players directly into the same artificial world as the game.
