We all need our own space to think, unwind or to clear or heads; some of us create den’s or man caves to label a spot within our homes to call our very own. What if we were able to go beyond the escapism of a computer, a mouse and an external experience and instead become the interface?
Combining our need for time alone with the advancement of technological features that span farther than our imaginations, would you be intrigued?
The immersive human cocoon is a digital experience that was conceived by a man formally of the MIT Media Lab, John Underkoffer, and its 360 degree prototype was developed by NAU out of Zurich, Switzerland; a dome that is fully equipped with motion sensing software giving you a true 3D experience.
This is not only a digital experience unlike ever before; it is also holistic too, providing you with the ability to interact with natural, instinctual movements that has your body become the interface. As you enter the cocoon via silent stairs that slide out, you will be entering a three-dimensional space that you create.
In fact, everything you do within the cocoon will be visually seen in the encased closure, as if you are actually experiencing the chosen action or destination.

Regardless, this conceptual design has much promise for the in-depth abilities our technological future has in store for us, allowing us to interact with technology as a part of it instead of being just the user.
