WiP Demo

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of an interactive, sonic installation that lets visitors paint pictures with their own voice. Through speaking into an augmented megaphone and moving it, visitors control a digital paintbrush that paints onto a projected canvas. Depending on both pitch and volume of the visitor’s voice, the paintbrush changes its stroke and color. Once the painting is finished, a printout is produced as a tangible artifact that completes and transcends the visitor’s interactive experience. We also report on a deployment of the installation at a regional science fair and depict salient insights from observations that will guide further development of the exhibit.
