IxD Studio, project 3: Sound Garden v.1 is an interactive installation investigating the sounds water makes on various surfaces. Of the three objects used in our protoype, the potted plant was the most successful. Each leaf creates a different sound depending on its size, shape, proximity to other leaves, and location on the plant. For the final exhibition, we’d like to use a few more plants of different species. Our main purpose in using containers of water was to recreate some of the elements in the zen garden, such as the bamboo fountain and the pond, but because the plant was so successful, we intend to focus on that aspect for the final show at the end of April.

We also have photos!

The past couple weeks have been a haze of misery, despair, and Processing code, thanks to a data visualization project for Interaction Studio. It's due on Thursday, so I almost backed out of tonight's AIGA studio tour in favor of getting more work done. I'm glad I didn't: seeing Stimulant's work reminded me of why I'm doing this to myself. Check out their awesome installation for Intel's booth at CES 2012 (I'd embed it, but Vimeo won't let me).
