Conclusion
This thesis has investigated the impact of eye closure on visual media. It has shown that, through the design of applications, encouragement can be offered to close the eyes more often, even in a visual world.
The next step for me will be following up on two of the concepts; namely by creating a longer video that makes use of eye-closure, and thinking about further applications for the 'anti-visual' modality. Furthermore, it is yet to be determined what the long-term effects of more frequent eye closure are.
While there are many benefits in the usage of closing the eyes, from gestures, to health and imagination - ultimately, closing the eyes can just feel good.
Try it.
