Shiseido tactile sensor-based installation

Takram was responsible for the art direction and production of Shiseido KANSEI Design Lab, a window display that was presented at Shiseido Ginza building in Ginza, Tokyo on April 1, 2014. The theme of this exhibit is haptic sense. The project uses Haplog, the worlds first touch-motion sensor developed by Shiseido. Through exquisite artwork, Takram expresses Shiseidos genuine passion for beauty. The exhibit is presented in a laboratory-like space, where delicate haptic sensibility is tastefully captured by the Haplog Visualizer. Together with the sensor-mounted Haplog Machine, the project instills a sense of wonder in those walking by the window in Ginza.
