HELLO
INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE
Communication channel between there and here
"Hello" is a communication channel between this world and the next.
Each time the receiver is lifted, a voice from beyond responds, connecting with someone who has passed away.
The speaker communicates directly with the listener.
During this interaction, a model analyzes the listener's emotions
and translates the received information into a visual representation, creating a unique space where this extraordinary communication takes place.
MOODBOARD
Energy does not disappear,
it only changes form
How does the other world looks like ?
Is there a connection to the physical world ?
With those question i started my research,
the visual one and the conceptual.
In order to figure out how to reach people feeling,
and still stay away from fantasy world
​
THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE WORLDS IS LIKE
AN EARTHQUAKE OCCURS BETWEEN
TWO TECTONIC PLATES
If the data of a meeting between two parts of the earth can be analyzed, what will the data of a meeting between the two worlds look like?
PROCESS STEP #1
CALL TO
ROEE
Roee, one of my best friends, was killed in combat on October 7.
He was the first one I wanted to call
in an attempt to record the data
from the interaction.
​
I divided my conversation into four feelings:
sad, hope, accept and anger
and like a seismograph I went with a pen between the feelings and emotions.
​
The contrast between what I said and what I felt was very powerful. I understood that there is a powerful tool of emotions here.
​
But what if Roee could answer back?
PROCESS STEP #2
AI MODEL TO VISUAL
To analyze emotions, a deep learning model in Python, DeepFace, is utilized. This model provides values for each emotion. Using P5.js, these emotions are plotted on axes, and the model is instructed to "draw" lines connecting the results.
​
​When the model failed to recognize an emotion,
a black spot was generated,
akin to ink spreading on a page when a pen stops.
PROCESS STEP #3
SOUND WORK
Early on, I recognized that it would be more compelling to actually hear a conversation from the other side, from the next world.
I interviewed numerous bereaved individuals, asking them one question: "What would you most want to hear from your loved one on the other side?"
Based on their responses, I crafted a unique text for each persona - young man, young woman, old man and old woman.
These texts were then brought to life by actors portraying individuals who have passed away.
PROCESS STEP #4
2D TO 3D
During the sketching phase, I envisioned an encompassing and immersive environment.
To bring this idea to life, I transformed the data space into a three-dimensional realm
Like a world that exists neither here
nor there
Early steps for 3d phase
The sphere &
Camera movement
To create a sense of space surrounding the viewer, I used dynamic camera movement.
I focused on a pivotal moment in the conversation when the listener is prompted to respond to the speaker.
At this point, the listener is exposed to the full, expansive dimension.
PROCESS STEP #5
