Proposal 4

Topic

Spying


Background

Sound is vibration transmitted through a medium. When we think and talk about sound, though, we mean those vibrations in air molecules that can be picked up by human ears.

Can you really hear through a wall using a glass like some movie did?

Yes. Actually, the trick is to put the glass against the wall of an adjoining apartment.
When sound travels through a denser material, its velocity decreases. Sound/voice reaches the wall, and then the velocity of sound decreases inside the wall. When the sound wave reaches them it has lost some of its energy. That is loose talk though, more like it has lost its intensity because it had a much denser medium to travel through, namely the wall. Now when you put the drink glass to your ear, you are ensuring that the waves that come through the glass to your ear are not going anywhere outside your glass, because although the amplitude of the wave is restricted, the wave is contained in a closed space due to reflection of the wave off of the sides of the glass. But that is another loose non physics explanation.


Problem Identification

Spying is some people habit. They always wonder what is happening behind the walls, always wanted to hear the truth. All those conspiracies and plans behind their back, the arguing, the discussion, what channel they watching and etc. They always wanted know all of them.


Aim and Objectives

- To explore physical motion and non computer device as a way of interacting with sound.
- To making the glass as extension of the sound world, not confined in a speaker or other sound hearing device.
- To give user sense of experience spying on the next wall.


Motivation



Ideation and Concept

10-20 glasses stack on the wall. When user put the ear on the glass, they will hear sounds (conspiracies ,plans , the arguing, fighting., discussion,talking, channel they watching and etc). Every glass will have different sound.



Review , Analysis and Precedence Study

- this picture is not the artwork.
- I lost the link of artwork that inspired me ..  ( zzz ) . I`ll try find again soon..
