SUMMARY Vanessa Cox, NAKFI Science Writing Scholar Georgia Institute of Technology The team, focused on creating human-centered cultures with humancentered technologies, discussed possible ways to use technology to promote empathy. Too often, rather than broadening people's viewpoints, modern technology reflects people's own opinions, views, and biases back to them, an effect known as the echo chamber.

The team decided the Asymmetric Mirror would involve three experiences, sight, touch, and sound, which would use existing technology as well as technology in development to engage multiple senses while exploring how technology can be harnessed to induce an empathetic experience. The first encounter with the Asymmetric Mirror center would focus on the idea of stepping into someone else's skin and seeing what that person sees in the mirror.

The team discussed the importance of each viewpoint being a thoughtful, logical statement, rather than an unreasonable emotional outburst. The team plans to reveal the installation at South by Southwest Interactive, an interactive media conference, where the audience is likely to be aware of the echo chamber and will be excited to try this type of technologybased experimental installation.
