Augmented Window: Structure-borne Sound Drivers for Sound-emitting Solid Objects and Surfaces

چکیده
In this project we investigate new ways of diffusing the sound via the use of sound drivers, which enables to turn any surface into audio diffusion surface. This kind of technology can benefit to a lot of varied projects. Our investigations led us to use this technology in two types of application : an artistic one, in which drivers were used with idiophones (gongs, tams, etc.) turning them into loudspeakers. The second application is a prototype window audio interface which enables the user to control audio with his / her own gestures and gives the audio feedback through the window.

Structure-Borne Sound and Aurally Active Spaces
ABSTRACT This paper provides a report of a research effort to transform architectural and scenographic surfaces into sound sources and use them in artistic creation. Structure-borne sound drivers are employed to induce sound into the solid surfaces, making them vibrate and emit sound. The sound waves can be perceived both via the aural (airborne diffusion) as well as the tactile (structure-born...
متن کاملPrediction of Noise Transmission Loss and Acoustic Comfort Assessment of a Ventilated Window using Statistical Energy Analysis
In this paper, a novel analytical method was developed based on statistical energy analysis framework to evaluate sound transmission loss through ventilated windows. The proposed method was compared to numerical and analytical models available in the literature. Results showed the success and advantage of the proposed model in predicting the acoustic performance of the ventilated window and the...
متن کاملEffect of porosity on the characteristics of underwater acoustic sound absorbers using theoretical models
Porous materials have good acoustic damping characteristics over a wide frequency range. As for sound waves, many small-scale pores in the coating materials can convert underwater-coating to rough surfaces. The main property of porous absorbents is their resistance against incident sound wave that leads to damping effect. From a physical point of view, damping occurs due to friction between flu...
متن کاملHand Gesture Recognition Using Multivariate Fuzzy Decision Tree and User Adaptation
With auditory augmentation, the authors describe building blocks supporting the design of data representation tools, which unobtrusively alter the auditory characteristics of structure-borne sounds. The system enriches the structure-borne sound of objects with a sonification of (near) real time data streams. The object’s auditory gestalt is shaped by data-driven parameters, creating a subtle di...
متن کاملAnalytical vibroacoustic modeling of an elastic Rayleigh beam using Green's function
The purpose of this article is to provide an analytical model of the vibroacoustic for an elastic beam submerged in low subsonic flows with mean velocities. In general, vibroacoustic modeling refers to the combined effects of sound propagation and mechanical vibration of the structure. Sound radiations from submerged structures are coupled with physical phenomena because the sound pressures act...
