Our team was tasked with creating an interactive experience for ImagineRIT, a creativity and innovation festival showcasing senior Capstone projects. The theme for this year’s New Media students was “Strange Transformations.” We wanted to create an experience that encouraged curiosity and exploration, through combining physical controls with digital outputs.

Cocoon is an interactive experience that transforms your space into a custom, animated environment.

Users will be able to explore and manipulate their environment using a control panel with various input devices.

Reconnect with tactile interactions, and discover something new.
