About

An interactive barrier for patients

When placed in quarantine, patients are not able to gather and share communal spaces, leading to an increased sense of isolation. Interactive Barrier proposes a system for safe interaction between 2 to 4 people, allowing them to communicate face to face and supporting mental healh through the process of recovery.
