Synth Wall

Throughout this project, my team and I were responding to the design brief of creating a meaningful, tangible media experience by designing and making an interactive lantern. We were told to take into consideration the need for people to maintain and express social connectedness and care for themselves and others.

Our design met the brief by creating an immersive experience by stimulating the senses of the users and connecting people through music and lights. The “Synth Wall” projects the sound movement onto a large building/wall/canvas as each of the buttons is pressed. This then allows people to create music together or enjoy it together, by connecting a large group of people despite the varying distances.

This video better displays the prototype we presented to in class. We project the visual elements to the class whilst interacting with it.

Our brief was to create a tangible media project by answering the question:

“How can we design a meaningful, tangible media experience by designing and making an interactive lantern?”
