Influence Over Distance

Eggsistential workspace is a somatosensorial platform intended to communicate motivation and companionship between two participants communicating from distant spaces through transitional chromatic values. This personalized bonding experience enables participants to convey their activity while in their individual workspaces. With the motion of their wrists rising and falling while in the act of typing, pressure sensors activate the RGB patterns of the corresponding participant’s set of lights. The faster they type, the greater the activity of the lights, and the slower they type, the more their inertia is echoed by the decreased activity of the light patterns. We have all experienced that feeling of being strapped to one’s desk under the pressure of a deadline, as well as the lack of community if working alone is a frequent occurrence. We thought it made for a fun, expressive but non-intrusive way of keeping one another company while working at home or in a solitary-feeling workspace.
