Felt Presence is to continue the on-going research effort in speculating the minimum multisensory stimuli it requires to induce the feeling of presence (FoP) experience in participating visitors.
Once again utilising the CNC plotting mechanism to explore illusionistic phenomena, this prototype features an array of wooden stick pendulums that part ways to illustrate the detection of visitor passage. When the pendulum movement corresponds timely with the visitor transit, it creates a bizarre illusion that an invisible agent is dwelling among the pendulums. Occasionally it even inspires a vague sensation of proprioceptive drift, one of the common conditions observed in FoP, during which the self-localisation moves outwards from the body.
