Sonisphere
Sonisphere is a prototype developed by five students at the London College of Communications, University of the Arts London, studying MA Interactive Media. We are a group with diverse backgrounds, brought together by our common interest in physical computing and interaction. This project was created for our Final Major Project on this course. The group is composed of Lorena Zalles (Visual), Rona Marín Miller (Project Manager), Susan Walsh (Interaction Design), Taraja Anderson (Usability), Viktor Chang (Developer) and the name of our ensemble is Made By Five.
Based around the metaphor of the conductor and the orchestra, the goal of the piece is to try and recreate the experience of the conductor. Sonic Interaction Design, which uses sound as one of the principle channels of conveying information, meaning and emotional qualities in the context, was employed in this piece. The user must feel in control of the music and how his actions have an effect on the music and the visual stimulation: we aim to take the musical experience of composing to a new level of interaction.
