Here we show the sequence of the interaction, in diagrams and video. Our guy is Luke and our girl is Linda.
Luke takes the floater in order to record and to send a message to Linda.
After having put the floater on the seashore, Luke can record the message.
Luke puts the floater on the water …and magically it starts to sail away.
When the message reaches the other end of the basin, Luke has a visual feedback
In the meanwhile waves begin to swash Linda’s basin, announcing the arrival of a Luke’s message.
The floater quietly reaches Linda’s shoreline accompanied by little waves
Linda pulls the floater in dry.
She listens to Luke’s message
Linda can decide to record another message or to leave it on the border of the basin.
