Immersion is a 📝MIT Media Lab project that provides "a people-centric view of your email life." Like a cubist painting, Immersion presents users with perspectives on their email data. [1]
- It provides a tool for self-reflection at a time where the zeitgeist is one of self-promotion.
- It provides an artistic representation that exists only in the presence of the visitor.
- It helps explore privacy by showing users data that they have already shared with others.
- It presents users wanting to be more strategic with their professional interactions, with a map to plan more effectively who they connect with.
Immersion is about four things: self-reflection, art, privacy and strategy. It’s about providing users with a number of different perspectives by leveraging on the fact that the web, and emails, are now an important part of our past.
