1 A multisensory device

Immersive Soundscape is a wearable device that creates multi-dimensional audio environments. Interactive sensors are integrated ( accelerometer & water atomization ) into the wearable device to allow modifying audio & releasing scent vapor. A product prototype and visual & audio demo are delivered as the outcomes. The immersive demo experience leads people into a creative process of sound making, where users can listen & create variations of the same music. Users’ head movements would trigger changes in pitch, playing speed, and additional sound effects.
