which allows users to have an extended body through my body

In the Exchanged Body Service, users can freely change the arrangement of the room beyond the screen, regardless of their actual location, using me. When users order through the website by rotating and moving images of furniture and writing instructions in the chat window, I follow their instructions in real-time, allowing them to see the changes taking place through the streaming service.

During my time in the middle of the lockdown, where all classes were held remotely, I felt as if my body was extended through a certain vehicle. This led me to imagine what it would be like to serve as the extended body for others. Inspired by the experience of being connected to different places over the internet, I envisioned the potential for users to experience being in another location through my body. This idea motivated me to expose my body and launch the Extended Body Service.
