Students were asked to come up with ideas to promote sustainable tourism at KSEVT, so they developed a projcet called KSEVT Hotel, where visitors can spend a night in 'levitation suit,' which is connected to a web of ropes and pulleys attached to the ceiling.
The KSEVT hotel offers two experiences. The individual version enables the researcher to spend the night in KSEVT by sleeping in a uniquely engineered levitation-suit, suspended in the central space of KSEVT. With the collective experience, a group of people is able to experience 3D sleeping as an extended feature of the exhibition, where a set of pyramid shaped cushions support your entire body in a custom 3D position while asleep.
The concept was first dreamed up last July during a three-week workshop and will hopefully promote 'nanotourism' in the area, which is defined as a participatory, locally-oriented alternative to traditional travel. Would you try it?
