(Overview)
Imaginary Sweets is a project inspired by questioning how food can be newly experienced in a time of pandemics where new experiences through traveling are limited. The project intends to create a virtual food experience that can broaden the food possibilities beyond the physical limitations. Also, it aims to restore the communication between people through food, especially through sweets that always have the power to make people happy at any age.

(Design Process)
Imaginary Sweets are designed to exist in both the physical and virtual worlds. Unlike the usual dessert-making process, they are first designed in a virtual world through Cinema 4D. The inner part of the dessert has motions that cannot be made in reality. After virtually designing the sweets, we replicated the sweets physically. In the process of creating the real dessert, there were some developments in designs, so that we redesigned the virtual sweets once again in order to make them look similar.

(Goal)
Our goal is to make the experiences of virtual dessert possible from anywhere in the world since traveling is limited in the time of pandemic. We have developed a virtual gallery and displayed the virtual desserts with posters in a unique gallery space. We aim to add another layer to the virtual food experience through virtual gallery.

(Next Step)
As we aim to sell the sweets in the future, we also made a packaging design virtually. The package has a clear box with the project title and the research question. The Shift logo is also placed to be scanned and link people to the virtual part of the project.
