“The phone has become an extension of our body, and our finger is navigating through the endless seductive space of information or entertainment.”

This project is an interactive mobile design that invites the audience to use their fingers on the screen, and the hand mirrors the touching back motion from behind the screen. While people gather in the screening room, one can also see other people’s fingers on the digital screen and interact with one another. As the finger touches back, there is also a “knock” sound playing. I am interested in this project because yet it’s generated by a very simple motion, the multimedia experience is prolific in both 2-dimension and 4-dimension spaces. I suppose the algorithm behind this work to be mimicking the user’s finger as mouseX and mouseY. When mouseX and mouseY are tracked, there is a reaction sent from the computer, which includes the audio effect and another finger appearing.
