Objectives:
Hearing is one of the fundamental senses of the human perceptual system. Being able to understand how auditory signals are created and how they can be used as input or output devices in solving problems in interactive media is an essential element of the Medialogy program. In this semester project, students pose problems that include the design and implementation of computer systems being able either to analyse an auditory signal in real-time or to produce interactive auditory feedback. Such feedback is either created from scratch using sound synthesis techniques or obtained by manipulating recorded samples. Examples of such systems are an interface which is controlled by the human voice or an interactive installation where the sounds change according to users' motions, or a tangible sonic interface embedded with sensors. The posed problem must be motivated, analysed and its solution evaluated using quantitative experiments and statistics.
As specified by the Study Board for Media Technology, a sub-theme description is formulated in connection with the project. In connection with the project a minimum of five related seminars /lectures are offered.
