Resonant Atmosphere
What if the atmosphere (air temperature, smell, lighting, sound) dynamically changed according to your actions and states?
I am a Ph.D. student in Future Feelings Lab at Georgia Tech (advisor: Noura Howell).
I envision Resonant Atmosphere, the world where the atmosphere and surroundings dynamically change based on our actions, bodily states, and emotions.
Humans have long been using a variety of objects within their reach. For example, we take notes with a pen, cook dishes with a knife and a pot, and type texts with a keyboard.
The resulting changes always occur within these objects; i.e., characters on a notebook, dishes, and texts or visual effects on a monitor.
In Resonant Atmosphere, not only objects around us but also the atmosphere, something out of our reach and surrounding us, changes interactively.
