Project #8 Consentful Interface

Description

Experimental Camera Design Revision

Design Process

After reading "Building Consentfull Tech" and becoming familiar with the F.R.I.S.E model, I started to revise my experiment camera design and tried to make some changes to make the design consentfull. This revision started with drawing a flowchart and that outlines new architecture for the project. It starts with the message containing some information about the meaning of the project and why it has been created. It also gives user assurance that no data will be collected. Further, with the use of p5 DOM elements such as button and select menu, the users have the right to go back or cut off the access to the camera whenever they want. ALso, with the use of the checkbox function, users can either give consent to the access to the camera or not. Function radio gives them different options to choose as well. At the end, when users decide to cut off the camera, they get the message that all the data has been deleted. 

Reflection

As I am interested in designing mobile applications, I found this topic very interesting and useful. Now, I am Thinking about software and interfacing as an opportunity to give users more options instead of imagining a linear path. It also helped me to understand what good consent design looks like. Drawing a flowchart for the interface made me consider consent as well as refusal and reversal of the consent. About the coding process, these two last assignments were tricky because using camera function and making that to work when you have different scenes and many lines of code is kind of hard.
