Screen display
In the middle of the space, there is a screen showing different contents on bully side and victim side.
- Bully side
Once the user touches the item, there will be some injuries on screen’s face. When someone use the scissor, there will show a new blood mark on the screen. When someone use the bat or touch the desk and chair, there will show bruises on the face. More times the person gets hurt, the screen gets darker and finally becomes black.
- Victim side
Once the user touch the front transparent screen, the broken glass will fix little by little and the injuries on back screen will recover gradually as well. It means every little actions may help the victim to get over.
There are two layers of screens at victim side. One is front transparent screen with glass cracks. The other one is back screen with an injured face.
How front transparent screen changes?
How back screen changes?
Report
When the user experiences the whole process and exists, he can get a self-report by recognizing own figerprint on the machine. The report contains what the user has done or leave in the room and data about actions. For example, at the front, you touched weapons or you could have stopped the bully for how many times and, at the back, you helped or make public more aware of bully for how many times.
