Monet’s Dream: Digital Paintings that Come Alive
Monet’s Dream turns digital paintings into interactive experiences, designed to enrich social interactions in elderly homes. Each room features a digital painting that residents believe to be real, complete with a unique virtual puppet. Over time, these puppets start playing and interacting within the painting, engaging residents. The real magic happens when a puppet leaves its frame and appears in another painting, serving as an icebreaker that sparks curiosity and conversation. This system, rooted in our approach to systems thinking, turns digital interactions into real-world social connections, breaking the ice and encouraging meaningful interactions among residents.
