Pragathi is a Bangalore-born, Singapore-based creative technologist and designer exploring the intersections of design, technology, and play. Her work spans interactive experiences, generative brand identities, and physical computing prototypes, often blurring the boundaries between the digital and physical. She is particularly drawn to the expressive possibilities of motion and code, using tools like Arduino and p5.js to craft dynamic, responsive systems that engage and evolve.
Gestural Interactions
Exploring Gesture-Driven Interactive Experiences through applications in Sign Language Learning
Gestural Interactions explores how embodied gestures can create immersive, playful, and expressive digital experiences. By using the body as a primary mode of interaction, the project investigates how gesture-driven systems can foster engagement, co-creation, and emotional connection in interactive environments. Through iterative prototyping and experiments, it examines the potential of gesture-driven systems to transform user experience by making technology feel intuitive and alive. A key application explored is sign language learning, where gesture-based games for deaf children and their families demonstrate how embodied interaction can enhance accessibility, learning, and communication. The project champions design that is inclusive, dynamic, and grounded in the body.
