abstract
‘Stay in Touch’ is an interactive installation designed to compel two strangers to touch and feel each other through a fabric wall. A fabric screen was hung across a room separating two people. When the two strangers touch each other through the fabric, images of a body slowly fade in underneath their hands and disappear once they let go. The inspiration for this interface is the hand’s unique ability to feel and distinguish objects that overlap each other like the ability to feel a cup underneath a cloth. The participants physically feel the other person behind the fabric and digitally feel the projected body on the fabric. Because the strangers can not see each other, they have to move their hands across the fabric and find the fingers of the other person. Touching different areas of the fabric will cause other images to fade in, and touching both hands will cause images to overlap.
