Two interactive fabric touch screen project a shadowy and blurry image of the other site. When the partner walks towards to the fabric, the other partner sees a blurry silhouette of his/her partner. Once he/she touches his/her partner’s blurred body, the image comes into focus revealing the partner’s features. While not in active use, the interactive fabric surface shows a faint shadowy video of the other location.
