Umi redefines digital communication by transforming abstract emotions into tangible experiences, bridging the gap between digital interactions and human touch. Inspired by the paradox of connectivity breeding isolation, it innovates through physical objects that embody emotions and interactive technology that simulates touch. The design challenges the norm by integrating haptic feedback and sensory materials, fostering a deeper human connection. Umi embodies a shift towards a more authentic and empathetic digital dialogue.
