Trident & Sense-Seat

Description:

SENSE-SEAT (http://sense-seat.com), a seat with embedded sensors and tangible actuators was developed to reimagine the role of tangible and embedded interaction in intelligent furniture aiming at improving creativity in workspaces. We explored SENSE-SEAT further in the context of the MITIExcell project by exploring its immersive features to support remote subaquatic ocean exploration. In this project a prototype enriched with a 360 camera to engage the senses of the teleoperator of the Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (i.e., Trident robot) was developed.
