Tangible Worlds

FILE SAO PAULO 2018
Electronic Language International Festival

Abstract:
“Tangible Worlds” is an experiment that offers an experience of sensory immersion. The combination of visual, sound and touch leads the user beyond a simple observation, but create the feeling of a full immersion in a parallel universe. We intervene in this new universe by touching it.
The tactile experience is fundamental because becomes the catalyst, that change all the facets of the virtual reality in which the user’s placed. What we perceive from the outside, doesn’t represent what we live inside the virtual world.
