Description
Summary:We present a novel way of manipulating a spatial soundscape, one that encourages collaboration and exploration. Through a tabletop display surrounded by speakers and lights, participants are invited to engage in peaceful play with Beluga whales shown through a live web camera feed from the Vancouver Aquarium in Canada. Eight softly glowing buttons and a simple interface encourage collaboration with others who are also enjoying the swirling Beluga sounds overhead.
