Boom…stroke…aaaaeeeehhhh…swing…crash…push…beeep! We struggle to put sonic interactions into words – and that is why an exhibition with real examples of sonic interaction design is the best way to experience this new field of research. It allows you to get your hands – and ears – on interactive works that showcase how sound can facilitate interaction in product design, mobile media, communicating scientific data, interactive art, and more.
