Museum of the Future Exhibits
An interactive floor projection and a haptic-based hand massage
I had the pleasure of working on two large-scale installations at the Museum of the Future in Dubai: Movement Therapy and Feeling Therapy. Movement Therapy is an interactive wide-scale projection system with fluid, generative visuals that change as users walk in the space. Feeling Therapy is a tangible ultrasonic haptic experience that emulates a hand massage.
For Movement Therapy, I pre-processed data from four depth sensor cameras to perform blob detection, enabling accurate tracking of people walking in the space and embedding their positions in a particle-based visualization.
For Feeling Therapy, I developed a hand tracking system in Python and C# utilizing a depth sensor camera to track 3-dimensional hand positions on top of a dome, emitting haptic sensations and creating an immersive auditory and visual experience.
