Have you ever…? Hug@ree “for virtual”,
someone will hug it for real
Hug@ree Virtual HugHug@ree is an interactive installation where participants hug a real tree outdoors and the hug is detetected by a combination of capacitive sensors and recorded by a camera. The captured video is sent to an interactive tangible projection where participants can place the video loop of their hug on a tree structure, becoming leaves of a collective experience. Multiple Hug@ree installations around the world will upload their leaves to an online platform, creating a global shared embrace of nature. Online, participants will be able to upload a photo of themselves, but their hug will only be made part of the world when a participant hugs a tree for real.
