Between Threads is an ongoing multidisciplinary project that explores the fragile boundary between physical control, digital presence, and remote embodiment.

At its core, the system connects a physical puppet theatre to a real-time digital interface, merging IoT, computer vision, networking, augmented reality, and basic robotics into a single hybrid environment.

The system is built around two parallel interfaces:

• A physical puppet theatre, where servos translate digital signals into tangible string-based motion
• A Unity-based interface, using Kinect + webcam input for real-time hand tracking and augmented overlays

The user can switch between different modes of control:

• Direct control using both hands

• Assisted control, where an agent layer (Perlin noise) subtly modifies motion

• Remote control, where another user can take over the puppet from anywhere in the world via a VPN connection
