Tajny_Projekt

Sound observatory is an interactive educational multimedia installation for observing sound. The installation consists of two parts. The first part of the installation is an animation that provides the user with basic knowledge about the physical properties of sound waves. The second part is interactive. By generating sound using a controller-synthesizer user gets a picture of the sound interpreted by a specially adapted Vectrex screen and a laser. The installation allows us to see changes in the sound process after changing basic parameters, such as amplitude or frequency, adding effects and audio filters, or using a microphone. The whole experience brings the viewer closer to the nature of sound and shows the logic of images of harmonic vibrations known mathematically as the Lissajous figures.
