Scope

Concept, UX Flow, Narrative Design, Physical Interaction

In a world where strangers pass each other without a second thought, this installation asks:

What if we could see the inner emotional lives of those we overlook?

Through tactile interaction, the piece reveals abstract visual narratives tied to anonymous figures. As the audience engages, the most frequently touched figures gradually become illuminated,

a metaphor for how attention and recognition can bring hidden stories
into the light.

Voted People's Choice for an immersive experience
