Touch & Live. An immersive experience for acting in others’ bodies

This work shows an immersive experience for the user to feel a disability while doing a simple task. The narrative looks for that the user feels empathy with other’s conditions through living a situation multiple times, first in the body of someone without disabilities and then, each time in the body of a different person with a different disability: hearing impairment, visual disability, and reduced mobility. So, we support the experience in human-mediated-interactions, focused on triggering the animations and providing physical-haptic feedback, including a touch that triggers the virtual change of the body for re-living the situation, like a déjà vu..
