OP_ERA: Haptic Interface

OP_ERA: Haptic Interface [Work Overview Website Text] OP_ERA: Haptic Interface is an immersive, interactive installation designed to visualize and manipulate Lorenz attractors. Lorenz attractors are non-linear equation systems that, using only twelve variables, can model natural phenomena—such as atmospheric air currents—revealing complex dynamics through continuous variation and feedback. In the installation, the interactor used: a data glove, a stereoscopic visualization system, and custom software that translated mathematical systems into sensory information the body could perceive. Interaction logic A simple gesture could reshape the experience in real time: Closing a finger triggered a variation in the equations, generating a corresponding visual change and shifting the interactor’s relative position within the attractor’s trajectory. All fingers closed brought the image closer. All fingers open moved the image farther away. The central aim of OP_ERA: Haptic Interface is to develop intuitive, natural interfaces capable of transforming abstract information into embodied tactile-visual experience.
