Abstract

Sound Rose is an interactive audiovisual installation created in the context of the research about new touch sensitive interfaces. This installation shows how a daily object, such as a table, can be transformed into a musical and visual instrument by using the sound produced when touching and interacting with it. This paper principally describes the hardware and software development behind the installation, as well as the design of the visual and musical interaction.
