Manus Dei is an interactive dome installation letting visitors flood a living Earth model by touch, turning calm window views into storms. It makes climate impact visceral, combining hands-on interaction with immersive projection and metaphor to spark responsibility and new dialogue.
Technically, a costum made fisheye-lens projector covers a 60 cm acrylic dome, while an infrared LED ring and camera (FTIR) read fingertip positions. TouchDesigner maps those touches to rising water levels and syncs the visuals and sound in real time.
