My tiny laboratory
I chose two projects to align my work, listening map and sound intervention. Now, my interest area is IOT and design for older adults. It seems the two categories have no connections because of the stereotype that older adults do not like new technology and avoid using it; however, technology is getting smarter and the […]
In ArtGr698, we have learned design+sound. It was my first time working on sound as a designer. It was such a new world. Even though I have used music as the background of a movie, I never thought it could be one of the genres of design. Reading articles and watching movies allowed me to learn […]
Wind Helmetphone The objective of this project is to make a helmet to hear the wind sound in the Midwest. Ames is such a place that has strong wind especially in spring. Midwest topography allows warm temperature and cold temperature to meet at the center of the area and make the temperature fluctuation, which causes tornados. Thanks to the topographical feature, […]

Helmet Headphone Ames is such a place where has strong wind especially in spring. Midwest topography allows warm temperature and cold temperature meet at the center of the area and to move it up and down frequently; it makes temperature fluctuation, which introduces several tornados. Thanks to the topographical feature, Ames has strong wind. The […]
Preparation of meterials Cooper wires / finish washers / cutter / glue gun / helmet The headphone I chose for this project is a helmet headphone that people can hear wind sound outside. Iowa is such a place having strong wind, which leads lots of tornados. Also, in Ames, there are couples of wind […]
Contexts what I choosed to make headphones were Indoor, Wind, and Forest. 1. Indoor 1) Tube sound body headphone Not only headphone for ears, but also for eyes and a body. Transparent tube reflect colored lights depanding on the volume of sound from the speakers. Sound vibration will be one of the effects for […]
The aim of this project was to make a sonic intervention that interacts with people using sounds. I made a plan to give people a enjoy moment while busy days. I prepared a compensation of candies for people who played a game. Instructions are installed on the desk. I led people to follow the instructions […]
