What if capturing a photo could feel like collecting a shared memory, not just taking a picture? Sphere Drop is a gesture-driven, interactive installation that transforms photos into floating memory spheres—inviting people to collect, play with, and share moments together.

Why I made it

Why I made it

I designed Sphere Drop to create a meaningful, memorable experience for visitors at my Grad Show—one that moved beyond screens and turned photo-taking into a shared moment of play.

Inspired by the idea of memories as collectible spheres, the installation invited visitors to capture moments through body movement rather than buttons, encouraging presence, curiosity, and collaboration.

What People Did

What People Did

During the exhibition, visitors quickly understood the interaction through movement alone. Groups began to gather, gesture together, and play with the growing collection of memory spheres on screen.

As more photos were captured, spheres began to overlap and accumulate—visually reflecting shared participation and collective presence.

What Actually Happened

What Actually Happened

  • Over 300 photos were captured during the exhibition

  • Many spheres overlapped, indicating repeated and group interactions

  • Some teams generated a dense cluster of memory spheres, suggesting prolonged engagement

  • Visitors often stayed longer than expected, laughing, experimenting, and inviting others to join

This behavior confirmed that movement-based interaction encouraged more playful, social participation than traditional screen-based photo experiences.

Why It Matters

Why It Matters

Sphere Drop imagines a future where interaction moves beyond screens and into the body—where gestures, movement, and shared space become the interface. By shifting control from touchscreens to physical movement, the project explores how public interactive systems can feel more magical, engaging, and collaborative—turning everyday actions into collective rituals.
