Project description online

Wool's World is about the relationships between human beings in this society. We turn the relations visualized and let the users feel their relationship with others in the society, looking directly at others, makes one balanced. We aim to help people to find a balance of dealing with the interpersonal relationship, try to find a way to the perspective on this relationship.

In China, the word 'WOOL (毛mao线xian)' is used to describe complex relationships, because it is 'shear continuously, manage to return disorderly'.

Interaction with screen: A virtual representative image of user will be shown on the screen. Users can control the different state of image by his/her movements, which will be captured by tracking system and processed in Processing program.

Interaction with objects: Many wool threads with photocell and vibration sensor will be hung on the ceiling. If two users hold the end of the wool thread at the same time, they will feel the vibrations.
