Sonic Visuals
This is an experiment using Processing that tracks the visual information supplied by a webcam and translates that into audible sounds depending on the shape, size, and movement of an object.
With this program, the activity of a space would be discernable through noise allowing the user to listen, rather than watch, patterns unfolding in a space. This could be installed on a sidewalk, over the entrance of a building, or above a public plaza. Instead of identifying patterns through visual information you would be able to listen to patterns emerge reflecting the use of the space. Alternatively, it has very fun and playful direct interactions.
