Technically Touchable: The Hugging Bed

The bed version represents the next phase of our project, delving into alternative orientations to explore varied approaches to human-machine interactions. In this iteration, the Flat orientation offers a distinct experience where the user surrenders their freedom of movement, placing control in the hands of the machine or its operator.

This structural setup creates clear divisions between the primary user and other spectators, fostering a more direct interaction between the user and the machine. The experience takes on a formal tone as users must prepare to enter and exit the space, contrasting with the more casual encounter depicted in the Upright interaction.


This version was showcased at the London Festival of Architecture 2023.
