The Human Mountainification Project
This project makes landscapes experienceable by your hand.
It allows large-scale entities such as volcanoes to be represented as avatars for communication.
For the project, we developed a system that combines a tactile presentation glove capable of presenting temperature and vibration with projection mapping.
In this system, the combination of the tactile presentation glove and projection mapping transforms the right hand into a mountain with a physical sensation. The interaction between the operator who can cause natural phenomena and the mountain actor via the avatar creates a new form of communication.
