This project aims to bridge the emotional distance between families, inspired by the phenomenology of intimacy. By fostering collaboration among students, researchers, and practitioners, we seek to explore and merge the areas of interaction design and social design, particularly focusing on sensorial design. Our methodology emphasises participatory design, community engagement, and hands-on workshops to co-design embodied interactions in remote familial settings.
