SonicExploratorium: an interactive exhibit of sonic discovery

Authors Info & Claims
Published:26 April 2014Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we describe SonicExploratorium, an interactive exhibit where participants use bimanual interaction to explore various sonic qualities. Participants use two Sphero Robotic Balls to interact with combinations of 4 different audio controls, such as attack, delay, sustain, reverb, etc. Tonal qualities are mapped to colors that are displayed on Geospectral Meters (part of the UI) as well as the Spheros. SonicExploratorium bridges together elements of movement, color, emotion, and sound in a soma-chroma-affective polyphony.
