About the Project

The Technology

Using custom made wearable sensors, we are able to directly use biometrics such as breathing, heart rate, and perspiration to animate and control models on screen. This can form a connection between the user and the model on screen, promoting more thoughtful interactions with animals in the real world.

The Wolf

The Newfoundland Wolf used to be a semi frequent sight within the province, with it being sighted in St. Johns regularly. But, a bounty was placed and they began to get hunted to extinction. We hope that by interacting with a now extinct species and learning about their emotions can help people empathize with animals.

The Atlantic Wolffish

The Atlantic wolffish is currently in a historic population decline, with their conservation status being "Species of Concern". If things continue the way they are, it's likely they will go extinct.
