Assignment 2 - Ideas...

Idea 1 – Group Speak

A program that runs a line of text. A quote. The user reads the text hopefully at pace. It is then played back to the user as a composite with other people’s responses. Chopped up and changed around.

Idea 2 – Changed Perception of Reality

An augmented reality program similar to ‘Inception; program on iphone. Plays music and user wears a headset with a microphone near their mouth. Audio input is heavily layered with reverb while trippy visuals are found from the internet from around where they are. Purpose, changing the perception of the users immediate reality.

Idea 3 – Interactive Cloud of Sound

A simple interface with an audio waveform at the centre. Using a composite of soundscape’s, voices, and current sounds a ‘sound cloud’ is created.
When nobody is present, the program is relatively dormant with random outbursts of sound to trigger interest from passers-by. When the user approaches the screen they notice that they are able to affect this cloud. For example, their vertical height compared to the screen affects the high-pass frequency while the speed of their movements dictates the volume, etc, etc. Any sound that the user makes over a certain volume is then added to this cloud and is either immediately played back or saved for later.
