To Watch VIMEO of BUON APPETITO
This project enhances interpersonal connections through
interactive projection. Imagine a scene, like a cozy Sunday evening or a
special birthday celebration, where a host shares a fruit-filled cake. As the
plate moves through individuals' hands, projected fruits illuminate based on
its movements, adding a unique and delightful interactive element to the
sharing ritual.
In moments of shared indulgence, slicing, plating, and passing becomes a collective celebration of culinary delight, creating lasting connections and cherished memories. By seamlessly merging tactile food sharing with visual projection, we aim to transform the experience into an immersive celebration of connection, leaving participants with unforgettable moments of shared joy.

WHY EXPLORE?
This project is interested in tracking the interaction between
movements to augment the dinner experience. We sought to understand the impact of an augmented and interactive sensory experience, incorporating taste, sound, smell, vision, and touch, on eating behaviors and flavor perception.
