A Sound You Can Touch

This paper describes the on going tech-tile project: an exploration of visual and sonic texture enabled by a mapping of textile images into sound and virtual patterns. This is performed live and ‘translated’ into new forms of material research through the jacquard process, itself a functioning conceptual machine within the analogous mechanism of the loom. The version of Swarm Tech-Tiles present...

Running head: SOUND AND TOUCH

This Chapter tries to explain that sound depends on colliding matter and can be described in terms of frequency and amplitude. It explains how antisound can be used to create silence, what echolocation is, and that the human perception of sound is logarithmic. Medical and military applications and home entertainment are discussed as an illustration. Then we turn to music, discuss what music sca...

Parchment-skin illusion: sound-biased touch

Our brains continuously bind information obtained through many sensory channels to form solid percepts of objects and events. Usually these pieces of information complement and confirm each other, thereby improving the reliability of our perception [1]. But incongruities between the sensory inputs may result in unexpected percepts due to intersensory interactions, as in the well-known audiovisu...
