Project Description

Gestophon is a multi-channel spatial audio environment that could be influenced by simple, familiar hand gestures. By interacting with the sensor interface, users could manipulate the location of sound in space and modulate various timbral qualities of the soundscape. The relationship between the control interface and realtime audio processing is very direct and transparent, making expressive, gratifying sound exploration accessible to all, regardless of physical ability or musical background.
