MASK_02 – Hive

Second of MASK collection – Hive

Story

It’s a community nest that connect people to overcome the distance. During the day, you walk and work as a worker bee. During the night, you come back to the nest and share what you got

Features

• It’s a honeycomb mask
• Two modes (switchable)
  1. Resting Mode: User is virtually situated in one cell of the honeycomb
     • See and communicate with other people, just like a video conference
     • w/ Queen & Baby larvae
  2. Working Mode: User is virtually in the air, outside the honeycomb
     • Not like in Resting Mode, the camera screen will follow the head, so the user can see and walk
     • w/ Worker

To do:

1. Activities & interactions
   • Resting Mode – Since it’s about living as a community, what will a community usually do?

   • Working Mode – Like honeybee, workers go out to collect pollen etc
     • Activities of worker bee

       • feed larvae
       • guard
