DSDN 112: Proposal


For this project I will be experimenting with the sense of touch. I will create a glove that has a layer of water inside it. When worn, this glove will alter the sense of touch making it an interesting experience for the user.

I will also have multiple containers with objects in them. These containers will have things such as sand or ball bearings, which will be used with the glove to enhance the experience. Since these substances are quite interesting to touch without any kind of alterations to the senses, they will be intriguing to use with the glove.

The glove itself will be a combination of two rubber/latex gloves. One glove will be sealed inside the other, with a layer of water in between them. This will ensure that the user’s hand will remain dry, which will be an important factor when interacting with the glove; if the user’s hand is wet this will change how they react to touching the objects. The user will not know the gloved is filled with water when they first go to put it on.

The user will interact with each of the provided materials, and be surprised by the differences in them, and how different they feel, compared to what they expected.
