Project overview:
Echosphere visualizes the "Echo Chamber" effect, showing what a colonized mind looks
like when trapped inside one through nonstop social media use. It immerses users in everyday
posts, images, and hashtags, revealing how constant scrolling shapes our thoughts, reinforces
echo chambers, and alters our perception of the world.

It has been integrated as a built-in feature on phones, functioning like an app, where you can
connect to the social media platform you feel is negatively impacting your mind.
After connecting your social media, it generates a personalized "echo chamber" based on
your activity. It analyzes the app's algorithms and creates a focused environment that
highlights issues, essentially uncovering what went wrong and identifying the aspects
that negatively affect you.
The next steps include potential features that could be integrated into this technology
to mitigate negative effects, such as offering options to seek help or completely reset
social media settings.
How I came up with this idea:
I began by exploring social media dependency—what it is and why it happens. From there,
I encountered the concept of mental colonization, which ultimately led to the echo chamber.
