Kayagomori is a pretty fascinating concept by Daisuke Uriu and Naohito Okude from KEIO University in Japan.

This space will allow users to withdraw into one’s shell and landscape diary. The name comes from Kaya: Japanese mosquito net and Hikikomori: a social problem in Japan. The structure of Kayagomori is a cubic frame with layered fabrics called Kaya screens. User can control the clarity of Kaya screen and the level of interruption from outside. When the user feels like remaining invisible but still wants to see outside, the projector shows the current scene to the screens. But the main function of Kayagomori is to be a “landscape diary”. The system memorizes the landscapes that the user had experienced in past time, and it projects them on Kaya screens, whenever the user wants to see it again.

A the moment Kayagomory is only a concept model but in the future, the system will be a space that one can locate anywhere: in one’s yard or roof, sightseeing spots and the middle of a vast wilderness.

Kayagomori is equipped with Kaya screens, microphones, speakers, projectors, etc.
