The medium I have chosen is a spatial sound-installation which reacts to the actions of the users. It incorporates two Kinect-based functions. The first one is for “single-use”, and it enables users to manipulate the speed of a song through the position in the room, while interacting with the visualization at the same time. The visualization consists of a representation of eleven different types of sounds, which combine to create a visual translation of the song. The second function is the “multiple-use”, which enables the room to react to the positions of a maximum of three people. Users can thus activate singular sounds or even experiment with different combinations, depending on their respective position on the room.
The “single-use” enables the users to manipulate the speed of the song. They can do this by moving forwards and backwards through the room.
This second function was inspired by a program from the interactive Webtool. The surface of the room was devised in a 3×3 matrix, which consists of a total of nine same-sized fields. Each field can activate a separate tone.
