Vignette

Vignette is an interactive installation where visitors deposit personal memories into an Arduino-based machine for shared projection and video presentation. Built over 3 weeks with Jennifer Huang, it merges hardware, projection mapping, and video production into an immersive human-computer experience.

Concept

Visitors traverse their recollections as a shared, immersive journey.

The machine collects personal memory fragments and projects them into a communal space, making the private public.

Process

Combined Arduino hardware, projection mapping, and video production to create an interactive HCI interface.

Designed the environmental context — physical space, visitor flow, and atmosphere — to support emotional engagement.

Outcome

Visitors experienced nostalgia and introspection while engaging with their own and communal memories.

Demonstrated how interactive technology can foster empathy and human connection at the intersection of memory and medium.
