NINEIDEA：Niice工作室打造的图腾（TOTEM）是一款概念性无屏设备，如同一件雕塑工具，旨在应对后真相时代复杂的信息环境。它并非传统意义的事实核查器，更像是一个信息 “气压计”，能记录信息模式、压力及波动性随时间的变化。图腾将媒体环境中的抽象波动转化为可触知的物理形式，构建起一个安静的感官反馈系统，而非直接输出数据。 该系统由三个相互关联的单元组成，各自在检测、解读或应对信息失真与真实模式中发挥特定作用。它们协同工作，无需屏幕或通知，就能对信息输入进行监测、信号提示与过滤。下面深入了解下这款信息系统产品设计。
第一个单元 TO1，作为洞察可视化器，每日生成打印圆盘，反映媒体模式的稳定或受干扰情况，通过视觉指标展现内容动态背后的模式。第二个单元 TO2，是响应式警报系统，仅在识别到经核实的信息失真时启动，按严重程度和类型将事件分类，避免频繁干扰，被动且警惕地监测失真信息。第三个单元 TO3，充当后台内容过滤器，分析传入媒体信息，在信息到达用户前，用视觉占位符或轻微编辑替换已知虚假内容，不全面审查或屏蔽信息，而是通过空间间隙或微小警告提示不可靠元素，与配套应用结合，支持对各类内容的筛选。图腾底部结构设有控制装置，用户可调节系统敏感度和关注点，还能将虚假信息分解为五个元素，更好理解其构建与传播方式。设计注重模拟与触觉交互，避免二元结论，将真相视为由语境、重复和叙事框架塑造的渐变体，鼓励用户关注信息结构与模式演变，是复杂媒体时代观察和应对信息环境的环境系统。

Multi sensory Totem Device: Product Design for Visualization Media False Information System
NINEIDEA: Totem created by Niice Studio is a conceptual non screen device, just like a sculpture tool, designed to deal with the complex information environment in the post truth era. It is not a traditional fact checker, but rather an information “barometer” that can record changes in information patterns, pressure, and volatility over time. Totems transform abstract fluctuations in the media environment into tangible physical forms, constructing a quiet sensory feedback system rather than directly outputting data.
The system consists of three interrelated units, each playing a specific role in detecting, interpreting, or responding to information distortion and authentic patterns. They work together to monitor, signal, and filter information input without the need for screens or notifications. Let’s delve deeper into the design of this information system product.
The first unit TO1 serves as an insight visualizer, generating printed disks daily to reflect the stability or interference of media patterns, and displaying the patterns behind the dynamic content through visual indicators. The second unit TO2 is a responsive alarm system that only activates when verified information distortion is detected, categorizes events by severity and type, avoids frequent interference, and passively and vigilantly monitors distorted information.
The third unit TO3 serves as a backend content filter, analyzing incoming media information and replacing known false content with visual placeholders or minor edits before the information reaches the user. It does not comprehensively review or block information, but instead alerts unreliable elements through spatial gaps or small warnings. Combined with supporting applications, it supports filtering various types of content. The bottom structure of the totem is equipped with control devices, allowing users to adjust the sensitivity and focus of the system. It can also decompose false information into five elements to better understand its construction and dissemination methods.
The design focuses on simulation and tactile interaction, avoiding binary conclusions and viewing reality as a gradient shaped by context, repetition, and narrative frameworks. It encourages users to pay attention to the evolution of information structures and patterns, and is an environmental system for observing and responding to information environments in the complex media era.
