Interactive Installation
SENSPACE
Achieving collective calm through stillness
01 / Concept
Stillness is an action.
Calm is its reward.
Senspace is an interactive immersive experience where generative visuals and soundscapes blend the boundaries of physical space, inviting you into stillness. The space utilizes computer vision, generative sound, and projection mapping for real-time reactive changes. Our narrative guides users between chaos-to-calm arcs.
The environment operates on a logic of invisible interaction, where the architecture itself becomes a mirror for the group's physiological state. In an era of constant digital engagement, Senspace reverses the traditional role of technology by rewarding non-action rather than output. As participants collectively embrace stillness, the visual and auditory chaos of the room settles into a state of equilibrium, offering a shared journey toward mental recovery and calmness.
On No Interface
“The moment a
person
notices the
technology,
their attention
shifts
from the
experience
to the
interface,
and the
restorative quality
collapses.”
By keeping the technology invisible, we make sure nothing stands between you and your moment of peace.

The Response Architecture
Think you're good at relaxing? Prove it. Watch our orientation video to see how we turn your skeletal data into calmness parameters.
03 / Experience Senspace
Four States Interaction
The fluid simulation moves through four states inspired by stellar lifecycles and bioluminescence elements, each driven by the collective stillness.
Idle
The Void
Near-total darkness. Faint Voronoi-inspired waves. No presence detected.
Active
The Turbulence
The Void transforms into noisy turbulence, detecting presence in the space.
Chaos
The Dissolution
Turbulence intensifies and fractures — the once-formed patterns shatter as collective movement peaks.
Calm
The Flow
Calmness achieved. Luminous slow warm-tone waves relax the space.

Inside the Installation
A glimpse into the immersive environment — projection, sound, and stillness converging in a single room.
05 / Technology
Under the Surface
End-to-End Latency
From camera capture to projection response
Computer Vision Pipeline
YOLO11n-pose detects 17 keypoints per person at 30fps. ByteTrack maintains identity across frames. No wearables required.
5-Layer Audio Engine
Generative audio layers activate as collective stillness deepens. Each layer responds to the chaos score threshold.
