Fabric Play is an interactive installation figuring on building an artificial communication between virtual and physical users. The web interface is projected onto the ground as an ambient environment that is responsive  to the positions of physical participants with various light and sound effects.  

The projected grid distorts as if it’s a piece of soft yet stretchable fabric, creating bulges and

wrinkles constantly. It is a two-dimensional graphics due to the property of projection, but it appears to be more real and three-dimensional. Users could almost experience the distortion of the space because of the optical illusion, which blurs the boundary between fake and real, digital and physical.
