A standard catalogue model: the dimensions, control package and finish are fixed, which is what keeps the price and the lead time predictable. Size, colour and interface language can be adapted without a new design cycle.

01 / Overview

When we draw a pattern in front of a mirror, the mirror image is opposite to the left and right, and the actual hand movements are inconsistent with visual feedback, resulting in a phenomenon of hand eye mismatch, which is called the "mirror effect". The mirror effect challenges our daily habitual movements and requires the brain to readjust and adjust.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

People tend to use existing knowledge and experiential patterns when dealing with problems, just like the inertia of object motion. The ten common thinking patterns include gain loss thinking, attribution errors, groupthink, binary oppositional thinking, rule-based thinking, generalization, face saving thinking, rigid thinking, narrow-minded thinking, and safe zone thinking. These fixed thinking patterns may limit our thinking and judgment, hindering our ability to innovate and solve problems. Participants must overcome the visual reversal caused by mirrors, where the eyes see a reversed image and hand movements need to be executed correctly based on this reversed information. This process requires the brain to readjust the relationship between visual input and motor output, effectively integrating visual information and motor commands.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
