Haptophone
Interactive installation translating vibrations into visual and auditory experiences
Overview
Haptophone is an experimental, modular tool for the artistic exploration of surfaces and spaces. Through movement, sound, and real-time visualization, a multisensory experience emerges between the physical and digital space.
Challenge
The challenge was to combine technical systems and intuitive interaction. Particularly important was a playful approach that remains open and directly accessible despite complex audio and visualization processes.
Concept & Implementation
A modular rod system with interchangeable attachments captures vibrations and material structures from the environment via a contact microphone. The signal is processed audiovisually in real time: on one hand through distorted sound output via headphones, and on the other through the dynamic manipulation of a point cloud visualization within a Blender workflow.
