Long-distance interaction
[Skin] is a wearable device that extends communication abilities beyond language. It extends the skin's sensory faculties in order to exchange through touch. Using a soft actuation system and computer recognition, the devices are able to exchange physical media between them based on their location and intents.
Outer Pattern
Outside pattern, manipulated by the inflation, communicates with other costumes. Other costumes understand the message by reading the pattern using computer vision.
Simulation - the street. (Blue - willing to talk)
Inner Pattern
Inner pattern transmits the message to the human who wears it. The dots are distributed in relationship with the sensitivity of areas of the body.
