| Course description |
This course allows students to explore further sound-based interaction in the context of digital media and to a lesser degree, product and prototype design. Lectures cover a range of areas based on the development of interactive software systems for manipulating, sampling and synthesising sound in real-time. Students will investigate processes and contexts for the use of sound in interactive environments such as audio-visual performance, network-based multi-user applications and immersive simulation environments. |
