The world is a vibrant, interconnected place. But with that vibrancy comes complexity. As competing voices broadcast their perspectives louder than ever, we’re surrounded by a cacophony of seemingly “informative” content.

Deepfakes, AI spam, political spin, weaponized headlines – how do we know what to believe?

Experience the future of real time fact checking with InfoLens.

InfoLens is a vision of what Mixed Reality can and should be: humane, intelligent, and empowering.
In a world of tomorrow, where MR hardware has potentially become ubiquitous and affordable enough to reach a critical mass of users, we want to show, what a useful application of respective technology could look like.

Our design philosophy thus centers the user while acknowledging the techno-social complexity of the envisioned time. It’s not about escaping reality – it’s about understanding it.

Decode the Noise

Knowing what truly matters

InfoLens helps you navigate the information jungle and develop a confident approach to critical content. By combining Mixed Reality and AI, it is now possible to identify questionable information in real time and train safe handling of it.

Instead of being swept along by stories designed to divide or unsettle, you can take control yourself and playfully shape a substantial informational environment.

Core functionalities

InfoLens is based on the conviction that the digital world must be seamlessly integrated into our daily lives to create a fairer and more inclusive environment for everyone. That’s why we use generative AI and increasingly powerful Mixed Reality hardware to explore a training experience tailored precisely to the individual needs of its users. This makes it possible to embed training naturally, immersively, and effectively into everyday life.

Bias Scanner

Our reactions are often driven by emotion and habit – not logic.
InfoLens' Bias Scanner detects when your reactions are being subtly shaped by external manipulation, tracking subtle biometric cues and behavioral patterns that signal cognitive shortcuts or emotional triggers.

It steps in with real-time, adaptive prompts that help you pause, reflect, and gradually build a critical distance from your biases.

These micro-moments of awareness consequently lead to more resilience.

Detects emotional manipulation and bias-triggering stimuli.

Monitors gaze, expression, and physiological signals non-invasively.

Turns emotional framing into a visible, trainable pattern.

Semantic Spaces

We see more than just objects – we care about the stories they tell.
InfoLens identifies the symbolic, emotional, and informational value of your environment in real time and builds its trainings on those instances.

By anchoring adaptive MR training to personally meaningful objects, InfoLens transforms your familiar spaces into intuitive, emotionally resonant training experiences.

It's the difference between merely seeing and truly perceiving.

Transforms familiar objects into interactive training triggers.

Uses spatial layout and personal significance for tailored training.

AI interprets emotional and symbolic meaning of environments.

Continuous Training

Disinformation doesn’t appear in isolated moments – it is woven into everyday experiences.
InfoLens integrates seamlessly into your routine, recognizing subtle influence patterns as they appear and turning them into reflective, contextual micro-trainings.

From impulsive product picks to social media scrolling sessions, each interaction becomes a quiet invitation to reflect, decode, and succssively recalibrate.

InfoLens turns your day into an immersive awareness-laboratory.

Identifies real-time training opportunities in real-world moments.

Turns each environment into an applicable training landscape.

Offers gentle, contextual nudges to promote a personalized reflection.

Individual and interactive

An adaptive training process emerges where artificial intelligence continuously analyzes behavioral patterns, bio-physiological signals, and emotional states – and derives individual learning impulses from them in real time. This forms the foundation for a dynamic adaptation to personal motivations.

Through the use of mixed reality, the collected data unfolds its full impact. The training becomes an integrative experience through finely tuned interaction – immersive, intuitive, and precisely tailored to the needs of the users.

The World (Beyond) Tomorrow

InfoLens is not a product you can download today – but a strategic foresight case that explores how Mixed Reality and AI could intersect and be put to good use countering disinformation in the 2030s.

Developed in the spirit of speculative design and at the same time deeply rooted in current technological developments and discourses, InfoLens invites us to jointly explore new potentials and responsibly shape the future – whether in the context of training or strategic innovation development.
