Those Who Want to See Must Close Their Eyes

My hypothesis

In short, my hypothesis is:

Closing the eyes can enrich visual media.

While this may appear inherently paradoxical at first, in the following, I will supply material to support my hypothesis. More specifically, I investigate the following sub-hypotheses:

Closing the eyes …

  1. … is a valuable element of interaction for visual systems.
  2. … is worthwhile as a means of relaxation in times of visual overload.
  3. … can enhance the perception of visual content.

To validate my theory in practice, I created a series of prototypical applications.
