Development and betatesting of an urban immersive interactive spatial 3D audio interface Audiowalk:

  • Utilization of advanced sensor fusion, movement and gesture triggering
  • Enabling single individual or collaborative creation and improvization with gestural spatial 3D audio in an urban environment, with an exergaming bent
  • Enabling a leaving of one´s own creations into a wider 3D audio radio station map, based on geolocation and saved sonic gestures over time
  • Creative embodied collaboration and improvization with strangers
