At the beginning we used this picture to describe how we are trying to put the angle of projector and the mirror. But at the end we have give up projector plan...
For the software, we might will use PS, PR, AE as we need to edit the videos and the image into the visual effect we want to present. Also, we need to use facial information extraction software. Kind of similar to the camera effects like filters in the Snapchat or Instagram but presented in a more technical and abstract way.
The mind map we drew when first idea was planing
These two interactions are mean to give the audience /participants a more direct way to show the difference between the self in reality, the projected self, and the self finally presented in the mirror. At the end of the installation, participants can see two kinds of themselves in the mirror, one is the self-projected on the wall by the projector, and the other is the self in reality directly appearing in the mirror. Both types of selves appear at the same time, but how to judge which one is real and which one is virtual fake, needs to depend on personal understanding.
The project is mainly talking about when facing the “truth” and the fake. When the reality is not true anymore, how to recognize which part which part of reality can be believed.
This "true" symbol has changed into eyes. When the truth isn’t be like the image in our brain, but the part we're not realised . How would we react.

The position of the wall, projector and the mirror. This setting was mean to use the similarities of eyes and projector and mirror, to create a "screen" that could show people's different side in one flat.
