Title

  • Use this format: Title of work (2-4 word description of situation). Aim for clarity. See this discussion for details.

Overall description

Brief description:

  • Please give description of the situation machine vision is used in. Remember to put a more detailed description of the technology here, e.g. "Touch screen analysis" in the "Minority Report (Augmented Reality)" Situation.

Who does what?

  • Choose whether what you're adding is A) a Technology Action, B) a character, or C) a Generic Entity Action.
  • For technology actions, you will get the list of technologies as specified in Technologies.
  • For the characters, you will have to have created a character, and then this will autocomplete in the form when you start typing.
  • Generic Entity Action: A generic entity ("thing") is an entity like a corporation, a government, an image, the creator of a work) where we are not interested in details about race, age, gender, species etc. Established tags: User, Creator, Corporation, Government, Military, Image, Video, Humans. This is a free tagging list for now, so feel free to add more, but please check to see if your tags autocomplete to avoid duplication or almost-identical terms. Also consider using Character instead - e.g. "Group of cyborgs in X" or "Circle Users" if a group has shared characteristics.
  • For each Entity, type in one or more verbs that describe the action they are taking. Use -ing verbs when the Entity is active, and either write Passive or use passive verbs (ending in -ed/-t/-d/irregular) if the Entity is the object or target of the action.

Operator of the machine vision

What characterizes the operator(s) of the machine vision technology in this situation?

Which character(s) operate(s) the machine vision in this situation?

  • Type the name of the characters. Add them if they do not already have nodes in the database.

Operator feels that the machine vision is:

Viewed by machine vision

Is the person(s) being viewed represented as being aware of being viewed?

  • Aware:
  • Unaware:
  • Partially aware: Some people may be aware, or people are aware that there is some machine vision, but not fully aware of the extent.

Who is viewed by the machine vision in this situation?

Which character(s) are viewed by the machine vision in this situation?

  • Type the name of the characters. Add them if they do not already have nodes in the database.

Viewed person feels that machine vision is:

Who owns/developed the technology (referenced in the work)?

This refers to the owner as represented in the work (the fictional world, or the artwork itself), and not what is outside of the work, in the real world. In Pokémon Go, we do not reference Niantic, because Niantic is not referenced in the gameworld. Tag when the work highlights fictional or real-world owners, e.g. Google.
