Our Spatial Media final was called Body Beats. I decided to try my hand at making my first music installation. My design intentions were for a piece that encouraged casual interaction without a complex learning curve. There had to be clear immediate visual and audio feedback for gestures so that the user easily grasped the interaction. Also, I wanted the audio to sound nice regardless of user input, ie. they could stand anywhere in the space.

StoryCorps is an organization which is building an archive of american stories. These stories are collected from ordinary americans, using an audio recording booth. Stories can be listened to either on the web or by telephone.

This is the first mashup for these two devices, enabling a richer set of interactions. This allows users to interact with the physical properties of the surface, such as pressure and gravity.
