Project
This project seeks to empower users to engage in meaningful conversations using low-stakes, creative play to offer a comfortable space for vulnerability. Closer Worlds is a 2-person digital experience which supports intimate conversation by visualizing shared values using a text-to-image model (DALL-E 2). The contributions of this work are the design and evaluation of Closer Worlds, including a pilot study with 24 participants that explores how image generation, discussion questions, and imaginative world-building can ease participants into intimate conversations.
