Concept

Since we all know about Halloween, and we're Korean, we decided to explore Korean stories that are similar to Halloween. We got really interested in a famous phenomenon called the Dokebibul, also known as the goblin fire.

This phenomenon is like something magical and mysterious. It's when oddly colored flames suddenly appear in the dark night, almost like a mirage. A goblin fire means the appearance of a goblin. We wanted to create something interactive so people could feel this for themselves, or understand what it's like.

Goblin fire

Input & output

The input is an IR sensor. It will detect the user's approaching movement and trigger an interaction to turn on the fire or light bulb. The output will be a repeated flickering of the light bulb.

Brainstorming & Concept Images

These images are our concept mood board.

Sketches & Scenario

We sketched several ways to express the movement of the goblin fire. First, we sketched lights that would flicker in response to human movement, and I imagined them hanging from the walls like curtains. Second, we imagined light bulbs hanging from the ceiling.
