Mine is a service that allows you to see yourself like data-miners see you. It is about giving users insight into how their data is viewed by others. We split this into two realms: how individuals see you (e.g. Facebook, employers), and how machines see you (the NSA, advertisers, etc.). My team developed the project under the supervision of Clay Shirky.

My redesign of the UI in the Metro design style was a nod to Microsoft’s part in the design competition:

1) Home Screen
2) Machine Analysis: Intro Screen
3) Machine Analysis: Results Screen
4) Desired Persona: Intro Screen
5) Desired Persona: Builder Screen
6) Rate Others: Intro Screen
7) Rate Others: Peer Judgement Screen
8) Human Analysis: Intro Screen
9) Human Analysis: Results Screen

The project started with a single prompt:

Given the available data, what can we invent that would improve the lives of individuals?
