In February 2021 we were heading towards the end of the hybrid semester and the Embodied Interaction Design Studio Hyper Haptics. On behalf of the group students were invited to the final presentation on February 2nd. The student projects covered a wide range of interaction concepts and haptic augmentation strategies.
The aim of the project was to use digital tools to create synaesthetic stimuli to create ›hyper-realistic‹ experiences. In this context the design focus was on prototyping and curating sensory impressions. How can haptics and materiality be transported into the virtual? And how to transfered back again? How can senses be meaningfully linked to complement and expand physical reality?
The course was realised under the patronage of Prof. Carola Zwick and Prof. Thomas Ness by Judith Glaser, lecturer for interaction designer (Studio NAND), Felix Rasehorn Pre-Doctoral Researcher (MoA), Felix Groll Head of the eLAB (weissensee school of art and design berlin), and supported by the experts Dr. Olivier Bau, Paula van Brummelen (weissensee school of art and design berlin) and Christoph Holtmann (HTW).
