Enabling Water Sorcery/
Non-contact Water Haptics: Feeling the Presence of Another, 2021

Final work for Technical Design Thesis ETS5
Year 5, Architectural Association, London (UK)

How can we control water environments to enable the feeling of presence of another through water remotely? The study structure formed a methodology fitted to recreate sense of touch underwater remotely. This had been mediated through: control test of existing sound sensors, a DIY tool that captured the range of vibration or touch translations in different water compositions, followed by extraction of measurements based on observations, and the comparisons of the results that informed series of design decisions.
