Interactive Liminalities is an attempt to activate the sensory perception of human interaction in Liminal Spaces, which are transitional spaces, lacking a sense of connect and dialogue due to their functional nature. The idea is to stimulate the space through sensual anomalies. When a user transitions, the detection enabled through ultrasonic sensors, initiate a connection with the motion sensor, which has the potential to sparkle series of patterns and glows to the LED strip with a Fan DC Motor. The aim becomes for the user to not feel disconnected and cut off from the vectors of the transition.
CONCEPT
Derived from the Latin word “limen” which means “threshold,” liminal space is a concept that may sound unfamiliar, but it’s something you’ve likely experienced in your daily life. “Liminal space can best be described as going through a change or going from place to place—from one thing to the next”.
This is something tangible & a connection that you can recognize as a pathway, passageway or portal. These places are transitory, meaning you’re supposed to pass through them on your way to something else. E.g.. Hallways, Stairs, Lifts Corridors etc.
IDEATION
Stimulate the sensory connect in liminal spaces to have an indulging human experience. Visual & Bodily perception are selected as the stage for interaction via air & light dynamics.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Based on Space Typology & Liminal Space, interactive mediums can be installed to instill life and comfort into the liminal space. This can be widely applied to multiple scales, ranging on the scale of engaging users and dynamics.
Following images depict the interactive domain of possibilities incorporating motion movements not just to create lights but respond to the users.
