Final Project - Oracle

I am not religious, and I don’t really believe in higher power, but I believe in placebo effect. Sometimes when I’m down, I would like to receive a divine advice, some sort of encouragement to find inner strength, even though it’s made up.

Therefore, in this project, I will make an Oracle -> a device that will give you your personalized advice, maybe based on the religious texts. You can imagine it as Chinese fortune cookies, but more personal.

Mood board

I like the “biblically accurate angels” posts. There are many different types of angels mentioned in the bible.

I think the cutest of them all are the seraphim’s and thrones! They have many eyes to see everything (and are allegedly most powerful), so those are great angels to receive the Oracle from.

I then browsed the internet for some inspiration, and made a mood board.

Based on that, I made my sketch:

How will it work from user perspective (simplified)

register online, and fill up a form with your basic information
add your fingerprint to the database
once a day, you will be able to receive a “prophecy” from a great oracle
you come to the oracle, scan the finger and get a small paper with divine advice
