Seeing Aural - An Installation Transferring the Materials You Gaze to Sounds You Hear

Yi-Ching Huang, National Taiwan University, Taiwan

Kuan-Ying Wu, National Chiao-Tung University, Taiwan

Mon-Chu Chen, University of Madeira, Portugal

Time: Mon 10:30 - Wed 16:00 | Session: Arts Track | Location: Art, Demos and Posters Area

We present an audio installation allowing participants to create sounds by looking at different parts of surfaces or objects in various color and texture. By hacking a desktop eye tracker to track gaze points in 3D space, and deploying a webcam to pick up the hue, saturation and brightness of gazed material, we create an experimental musical instrument that can be played by eye gaze. Users have the freedom of choosing different raw materials and explore ways of seeing as a mean of self-expression to create a unique audio experience.
