Purpose
Hatsumi is a UK-based design studio that explores the intersection of arts, health, and immersive technology. They develop tools that make invisible, intangible experiences visible, aiming to help individuals better understand themselves and others.
Where We See Impact
Hatsumi's flagship project, Soul Paint, won the XR Experience Special Jury Award at SXSW 2024. The project has been recognized for its innovative approach to mental health and emotional expression. Soul Paint is a multi-award-winning VR experience that allows users to explore and express their emotions through immersive body mapping. Participants can paint sensations onto a 3D representation of their body, facilitating self-reflection and emotional awareness.
Accessing This Experience
Hatsumi's experiences are presented at festivals, research institutions, and through partnerships with health and arts organizations.
