Touch of warmth - IoT Project(CMU - MIIPS'20)

Human touch is a unique way of human expression which is different from talking or writing to someone. Human touch is the way of dissolving the barriers between people. Sometimes all we need is a hug or even a touch from the person we Love.

When we think of human touch, the warmth is what that would remind us of them. With our art installation ‘Touch of warmth’, we are hoping to connect people over countries and over time.

Touch of Warmth is an art installation placed in multiple cities around the world, enabling people to give and feel warmth from each other.

Some other ideas we are trying to convey is to give warmth first before receiving. Giving love first before accepting.

Also the slow interaction inspired by slow games. The metaphor we are trying to convey with the slow interaction is that people want our touch and warmthness longer than we expect.

We believe single touch could bring people together.
