Looks on Faces: An Interactive Experience

AbstractThe case here presented brings a work created to raise awareness about sexually transmitted infections and how they can be close to our reality. Advertising campaigns to combat sexual infections converge in prevention before any path to cure or treatment. One of the most efficient and inexpensive methods for such protection is the use of condoms, and in studies of advertising campaigns carried out around the world, it is noticed that there is an incentive to use this prevention method, but there is no supply of the item. This is an issue the work presented intended to solve. The work used augmented reality resources on a printed panel with historical and artistic content, a time-based code management system and an automated device to complete the interaction with the viewer, all managed by the artifact itself, without the need for human support. This work was initially part of the 7th Doctoral Retreat in Digital Media-Art at Universidade Aberta de Portugal (UAb-PT) and Universidade do Algarve (Ualg) and is part of the doctoral thesis of the researcher and author of this study.
