CONCEPT: Tangible Memory Book
Device that records ambiance (in the form of ambient noise) and translates this into tactile movement via a shape changing sheet.
Recorded ambiance is embedded into the sheet and can be replayed to reminisce about a moment or memory of a place
INSPIRATION/ MOTIVATION
“ We feel that current technology should be merged and coupled with tangible artefacts and physical elements, in order to provide more engaging experiences and overcome some of the limitation of mobile technology. ”
– Luigina Ciolfi & Marc McLoughlin
Today, we experience memories through digital means (ie. videos and photos)
Current devices rely on visual and auditory recordings to capture moments
What if these memories were translated into a tangible medium?
