Technical Details
Unreal， Optitrack Mocap System，EEGsensor
The audience participates by contributing a sentence inspired by the perfume's fragrance, which in turn shapes the dancer's performance scene in real-time. An observer experiences the fragrance transformations firsthand. The EEG sensor, donned by this observer, detects shifts in their brain activity caused by the varying perfume scents, influencing the color of the dancer's ribbon.
