Móta gives ‘physical’ properties to light to enable tangible interactions with our increasingly dematerialised technology without the need for virtual or augmented reality.

We are still tied to physical interfaces despite technology becoming increasingly dematerialised. How can we enable tangible interactions with this invisible world without resorting to virtual or augmented reality?

Imagine if you could hold a pool of light of in your hand. Móta gives ‘physical’ properties to grains of light to create a volumetric display controlled by gesture.

Móta creates the appearance of a 3D cloud of light particles on a 2D surface. It invites us to interact with the cloud as if each light particle possessed physical form. The physicality of the particles interacts with our own physicality to create a real and intuitive form of interaction.

This inherently non-binary interaction proposes a new language for communication between the physical and digital worlds.
