Doing groceries shopping is not only
about prices but also about the atmosphere.
People don’t just buy products, they buy experience.
In this work, we explore the whole sound experience perception
around 6 different markets in South London.
Designing Process
Data Visualization · Sounds Experience · Interactive
When starting this project, we had no topic. We started our walk from the London College of Communication by using the dice to determine our random route. We explored different parts of the city and recorded some sounds that we thought were interesting. We quickly noticed a huge difference in the mood of the different markets.
Ideas & Draft
We found a suitable direction in many ideas, and by recording and analyzing voices from different markets, we made a simple visualization attempt.
Prototype & Develope
We use projector + touch sensor to build dynamic interaction, we built the prototype first, and added animation based on it.
Outcome
Different colored circles represent different types of sounds. Touching the circle will play the corresponding animation and sound. You can touch the upper, middle and lower markets respectively to DIY your own sound atmosphere.
