People know that their time is limited and that they want things in their lives to happen in accord with their wishes. Realizing that their wishes have little power, they have sought technologies for gaining knowledge of the future and gain power over their lives.
For this project, I chose the Wheel of Fortune that is one of the symbols of the tarot cards. The Wheel of Fortune represents the intercession of random chance into a person's path. I designed a physical model of the Wheel of Fortune. The experience of spinning the wheel will put you in a state of curiosity, anxiety, and displacement because you do not know what the answer will be revealed for you. The physical interface that I created provides a chance to the audiences to experience both digital and traditional medium of predicting the future by manipulating the wheel. The video display, will be the digital representation of a traditional tarot card, yet its manner of showing will create a whole new experience.
