For my final project, I want to do sound visualization. And here are two projects that I found particularly interesting.

This first project is called WAVES is created by students from OPENLIGHT: the creative lab of Intelligent Lighting Institute of the TU Eindhoven. Using a “sound camera”, a device with 1024 microphones which can very precisely locate a sound in space, students place it in an industrial place and visualized waves. People can interact with the device by making sounds, whistles, stomping their feet etc.

The next project is VOICE ARRAY. by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. The LED light blinking gives a visual representation of the recorded sound

Both of them showed different techniques and interactions that might happen in sound visualization. And I hope my project can have similar achievement like them.
