Listen to this space (well a space in Western Australia).
AudioMaze is an interactive project for the new exhibition space at the WA Blind and Guide-Dog Association. A development of the Talking Stick project commissioned by the Exploratorium Museum of Science and Human Perception in San Francisco, AudioMaze presents the sonic experience of an imagined architectural space. Sight impaired visitors may interact with the soundscape by using sonic wands.
Hand units shown dis-assembled. Each unit has an EMF pick-up coil in its tip that reacts to a series of EMF audio transducers placed under the floor covering – a 24 channel audio drive delivers an audio scenario (in this case a very busy kitchen scene) to the otherwise bare rectangular space.
