About iChoice.io

Our Technology

iChoice wheels are based on personal user interaction randomness generation. You can read more about true random number generation, as opposed to pseudo random number generation, at www.random.org/randomness/.

Most online decision maker tools or oracle services rely on pseudo randomness. While this may seem sufficient at first sight, introducing true randomness through personal user interaction provides far superior capabilities to our underlying algorithms.

When rolling a dice or picking a random number, the first thing you want to make sure of is that you get a truly random outcome. However, when you use a prediction tool or an online oracle, you also need to ensure that predictions are based on your personal situation and circumstances.

Thus, it is of utmost importance to maximize the subject's interaction with the tool used for the divination purpose. The tools used can includes pendulums, stones, smoke, dice, shells, flowers, and many more.

iChoice oracle wheels use three personal interaction factors in addition to our random algorithm, in order to provide personal responses to your questions.

Random Decision-making

Random decision-making processes like coin tossing have been used since early times in many situations.

For choices that seem equally desirable even after in depth pro and con analysis. You may want to read about the Buridan's ass paradox for more information on this.
In big decisions a random decision wheel is of great help. It works not because it settles the question for you, but because, in the very moment while the wheel is spinning, you suddenly know what you are hoping for.
The random decision wheel can work as a time saver when facing tiny decisions that don't deserve the effort of a full rational decision process; for instance, when picking randomly from a menu so you can continue chatting with friends. There is more and more evidence that brains naturally switch to random mode when faced with these kinds of decisions.
You can also use the random decision tool to solve disputes or decide between arbitrary options, like choosing which side of the field to play in sports.
Use our decision wheels to force a moment of truth. Have a look at the following experiment designed by Steve Levitt, the co-author of Freakonomics. In his study, he analyzed happiness after 61,735 random decisions were made on life changing questions, measuring happiness after forcing a moment of truth through random decisions.

Our Wheel Design

Last but not least a few words about the wheel design. We have used the excellent example from David DeSandro to inspire our wheels. If you are interested in coding you may want to pay him a visit at DeSandro's Css 3D transforms tutorial.
