COGITO Magazine contains five products
that expand information receptors at the
expense of comfort. 

 

Horologium is a timepiece that aggregates a users’ social media data,
statistical information of the users’ environment, and news feeds to
create supposedly random countdowns. Created as a psychological piece,
Horologium forces users to create the context of the countdown.

Dēmos is an app that allows users to rate their perception of safety
within environments. Users can then share that value with the world
on a map. To reduce inaccuracy or incredulous opinion, users can
vote on the integrity of comments and can only rate spaces which
they are physically present.

Exeo is a ring that allows wearers to gain an individual’s
medical and disease history by touching that individual’s
skin for an allotted amount of time. Within the small frame,
Exeo contains a high-frequency filament that beams a
laser through the skin and reads the blood content.
After initial processing, the information is encrypted and
sent to our servers where the information is decrypted
and awaits user login and payment for private viewing.

Vigil is a watch that informs wearers if there are any sexual predators,
those listed on the government Sexual Offenders database, in their
vicinity. However, the device does not disclose whether the offenders’
gender or body statistics like weight, height, skin color, etc. 

Arma is a bellybutton piercing that jams ultrasound-reading devices.
The piercing functions passively, meaning it only activates when an
ultrasound reading is detected upon a range of eight inches.
For secondary features, it includes an LED that can glow different
colors and is perfect for raves or other social, nightly gatherings.
