I believe that play can encourage people to engage with water in new ways. Hence, my project explores how the human body, interactive technology, and the water can be integrated to create playful experiences that enrich our senses and amplify all the physical and mental benefits of being in water.
Soma Desing For Water playful prototypes
Soma Desing For Water playful prototypes
To explore the design of playful experiences in water, I built on somaesthetic (soma) design methodologies.
Somaesthetics is gaining traction in HCI, where soma ( mind and body) design aims to create bodily-connected aesthetic experiences to take embodied interactions to the next level.
I believe this methodology can bring our bodies closer to our water perception, since it entails a qualitative approach to an experiential, felt, aesthetic stance, providing the designer with the ability to appreciate and discern those meaningful interactions that “touch us”.
