Background
How do humans experience, interpret, and design touch in digital environments and interactions?

The Design of Touch

The Design of Touch explores how emerging technologies shape human perception, meaning making, and interaction.

Through practice-based design research, sensory workshops, and material exploration, the project explores the relationship between humans and haptics and investigates how people experience and understand digital tactility through memories, associations, and resonance.

The aim is to generate new knowledge about how we can design more meaningful, human-centered, and multisensory experiences within learning, well-being, and care.
