Data-Bill

University Project at Parsons School of Design - My final project done during my elective class "Emerging Objects".

View Demo Video Here.

Concept

An object with an interface comprising of a thermal receipt printer, an LCD screen, and two buttons. Users fill out a form with a few points of personal information. This form is then inserted into a slot on the device, and a receipt is printed showcasing how much each data point was worth in USD($).

By pressing the green button the user agrees to the privacy policy. By pressing the red button, the user receives the receipt.

This is to visualize how user data is monetized by tech corporations.
