Audio Physical Interaction

The Sound Reactive Moving Boxes

The aim of this design is to experiment relationship between audio and physical movement, through rotating color projected 8 boxes that are assigned separate frequency range, for awareness of this movement and felt experience. I am creating physical audio interaction, a sound reactive boxes that response to user’s audio input. This design activity is exploring potential way of interaction of the sound and physical movement relationships. This paper starts with an overview of relevant design. It then presents the development of the Sound Reactive Moving Boxes device as a demonstration of this physical audio interaction by integrating creative and feedback stages. I conclude with some initial insight into the sound-physical movement relationship established by observing how people interact with this device and suggest potential future work.
