Online Misinformation

We are working on a project called "Clarity". The aim is to design a service that empowers users to identify, report, and counter online misinformation. We believe that by providing these tools, we can promote a safer, more transparent, and trustworthy digital world. We also see this as a valuable educational tool that promotes media literacy, critical thinking, and responsible information sharing. We are in the early stages of the project and are currently researching how people currently interact with misinformation. Your insights will be invaluable in helping us shape the content and features of our service.

Our Project

We are working on an application called clarity. It has two parts: one part is on your phone, and the other part is on some really cool AR glasses, which allow you to see the app in the world around you. The aim is to design a service that allows users to identify and report misinformation encountered in both online and physical form.

Big Points

  • The task below are what we are going to walk our users through.
  • Our first task is: Please check for any misinformation in the article and tell us what sources the app has found.
  • Our second task is: You would like to send the results you just viewed to a friend
  • Our third task is : You'd like to add this article to the results
  • Our fourth task is : You'd like to silence clarity's notifications for that piece of article only.
