E Pili Ana iā Sound Sculpt Mīkini Haku Mele Pilina

E noʻonoʻo i kahi ao e kālai ʻia ai ka leo e ka neʻe ʻana, e hana ana i kahi ʻāina ʻike leo-hiʻohiona hoihoi loa. He mea hana mele hoʻokumu ʻo SoundSculpt e hui pū ana i ka leo ʻākea, ka neʻe, a me ka hana noʻeau ʻike. Ma ka ulu mai o ka manaʻo mai ka kālai kuʻuna, hāʻawi ia i ka mana i nā mea hoʻohana e lilo i mea kikoʻī o kā lākou kaʻina hana hoʻokumu. Me nā AR Frames, ua hopu ʻia nā neʻe poʻo a hoʻololi ʻia i ka hoʻololi leo i ka manawa koke ma o ka papahana MIDI. I hoʻomohala ʻia ma ka ʻenekini holo, hāʻawi ʻo SoundSculpt i kahi ʻike lilo loa e hoʻohālua ana i nā palena ma waena o ka mea hana a me ka mea i hana ʻia, e wehewehe hou ana i ka ʻimi hana noʻeau.

Revolutionizing Perception through Immersive Music Making
Imagine sculpting with sound, where body movement generates a mesmerizing audio visual landscape. SoundSculpt is an innovative, generative music tool that fuses spatial sound, motion, and visual art, redefining the boundaries of creative expression. By harnessing the power of Bose AR Frame, this interface enhances perception performance, providing a novel medium for artistic exploration, emotional regulation, and mental well being.
Nā Ana a me ka Hoʻopili
The system uses a MIDI framework to map Bose Frames' head orientation data to sound pitch and volume, then transferred to virtual bubble manipulation is achieved through touch inputs with C# scripts. The integration of synesthesia principles enhances sensory perception, creating a holistic flow that bridges the gap between physical and digital art forms.
Size: 7.2 x 3.1 x 2.9 inches

SoundSculpt employs XR tech, integrating spatial audio and visual processing for immersive experiences. Bose Frames, with gyro sensors, capture 6 dof head movements, translating them into real-time audio modulation via a MIDI framework. Developed on Unity with C# scripts, it enables real-time user interaction. Mesh deformation and vertex manipulation allow dynamic bubble surface control, creating a responsive interface that enhances engagement and emotional connection.
Pilikia Hoʻolālā
The hardest part was integrating multi sensory feedback into a seamless flow. Creatively, it was challenging to synchronize audio-visual elements with inputs in real-time. Internally, balancing human vulnerabilities, historical concepts with modern tech required innovative thinking. Externally, limitations in sensor accuracy and data processing posed obstacles. Overcoming these required iterative testing and leveraging cutting-edge XR technology to ensure fluid interaction and emotional impact.
Noiʻi
This HCI research aims to develop an immersive tool for emotion regulation. Using a mixed reality approach, data was collected via user testing and biometric feedback with Bose Glasses and Real-time 3D engine. Participants included designers and non-designers. Results showed enhanced perception of spatial volume, sound, and motion, with a more stable emotion stage. Insights suggest adoption in psychiatry with art therapy, impacting society by improving emotional well-being with playful creation.
Hoʻoulu Manaʻo
SoundSculpt is inspired by the tactile art of sculpting, where shaping materials evokes profound emotional expression. Echoing ancient pottery, where your hands transform raw material into art, SoundSculpt revolutionizes this dynamic by turning it inside out, empowering users to become integral to the creative process. By integrating spatial audio and visual art, I offer you an immersive experience that blurs the boundaries between creator and creation, redefining interaction for a new era.
Ka Lōʻihi o ka Papahana
The project began in fall 2019 at the MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, MA, and concluded in summer 2020. It was subsequently exhibited to the Bose Frame AR team at Bose Corporation in Framingham, MA.
Kaʻina Hana
SoundSculpt immerses users within a virtual bubble, enabling them to shape its surface through intuitive gestures. As they tilt their heads or press buttons, Bose Frames capture these actions, converting them into dynamic audio-visual feedback. This interaction fosters a seamless cycle of "listen," "sculpt," and "art generation," empowering users to transform their environment. The system's innovative design ensures a fluid, captivating experience that boosts creativity and emotional well-being.
