An experience that allows people to interact with one another by writing down their messages, folding into paper boats, and floating and receiving the virtual paper boats on the sea. The project incorporates NeDB, Node.js, Three.js, and p5.js.

Our atmosphere is like a giant ocean in which we reside. We may think of ourselves as living on the ground, but we still inhabit the atmosphere, just like sea creatures do the water. The application is calling out to daydreamers that it is time to get our heads in the clouds.
