About the Immersive Installation – Fortune Teller
Step into a world where spiritual traditions meet digital innovation.
Fortune Teller is an interactive projection and augmented reality experience where spectators encounter Nature Spirits that appear, move, and respond to human presence. Each spirit carries a personal message — a poetic reflection inspired by the movements and rhythms of nature.
As you move through the installation, your interactions unlock hidden spirits and dreamlike settings. Some spirits are visible, some concealed, and others eager to start a conversation. Together, they form a living, breathing narrative — like a digital fairytale in which you are the protagonist.
The experience extends beyond the screen through an AR journey where visitors can use their smartphone or tablet to scan the surroundings and awaken the spirits hidden within everyday objects.
