Overview
Spatial Sound Objects is a work in progress mixed reality project that blends spatial music creation, immersive soundscapes, and tactile digital interactions. By integrating the texture and tactility of both the physical environment and digital objects, Spatial Sound Objects creates an interplay between the real and the virtual, inviting users to explore sound and space in a deeply immersive way.
At the heart of the project is a bespoke spatial user interface that allows participants to manipulate and interact with digital objects. Users can intuitively control the position, movement, and sound qualities of these objects by spawning objects and interacting with the radial slider controls, creating compositions that reflect the architectural spaces unique acoustics and form. These objects, unhindered by the laws of gravity, phase in and out of sync with one another, creating a rhythmic interplay of drumming and evolving harmonies.
