The Octopus Garden

A series of interactive installations inspired by different octopus traits built in collaboration with Pointcaster tracking developer Matt Hughes that includes:

HUNT
A floor projection detects visitors and pebble cushions as they corrale and hunt crabs. Built with Flutter, Rive and Pointcaster.

DREAM
An installation where visitors use a touch screen to configure their own octopus, including what it is dreaming about to effect its colour. When complete it is sent up to the wall projection to join the gallery of other octopuses. Visitors can also scan a QR code that takes them to a microsite where they can see their saved octopus. Built with Flutter and Rive.
