luminous solace: choreographing radiance with fidgeting motions
Luminous Solace transforms the simple, often unnoticed act of fidgeting into an embodied sensory interaction. Like a hidden canvas between body and light, this intelligent interactive light serves as a living interface where subconscious gestures choreograph an evolving visual symphony rippling across an LED matrix. Each fidgeting motion, classified through the embedded ML model, drives the generative graphics, where each micromovement becomes a brushstroke of digital expression, resulting in ever-changing patterns that pulse and evolve in real-time. The interaction quietly reveals the inner rhythms of subconscious behavioral patterns.
