Le salon de récurrence

ABSTRACT

Hair salon is an ordinary space we casually visit when we want to change our hairstyles. Although it requires active interaction with hairdresser to get the style as desired, possible motions and gestures of customers are usually limited. In this work, we present a multimedia work that attempts to show the visualization of hairstyles in fantasy based on the customer's simple gestures including eye movement or foot tapping, and to create spatialized sound according to the eye-tracking information to offer multi-modal feedback. We present this as an approach to our daily lives using ordinary media.
