Project Description:
Sonic Traces is a location based 6DoF AR Audio Experience. Users can walk through a 3D soundscape (spatial audio) full of stories. Sound behaves like in real life in this immersive experience. Initially you don't recognize a difference in the sound of the location, except that everything is generated by our app. If you hear something interesting in the distance go there and listen to either historic events (1848 - European Revolution) or stories from the future (2084 - our dystopia).
Sonic Traces leaves audible marks. We lead you on various paths allowing you to experience new acoustic worlds. Real places are expanded by sounds, narratives and moods. Virtual reality for yours ears!
How to Use Digital Technology to Tell Story:
We only use smartphone technology for our experience, and we support all head tracking devices. There are no external sensors needed. It's a combined GPS/optical user tracking which is very accurate and doesn't need any initial QR code scan or similar. It's also very intuitive. Users can (because of head tracking) navigate only by sound within this 3D 6DoF soundfield. Users can therefore also generate their own storyline by walking from one performance to another. Using only audio on a real location is perfect to set users in different times or completely new realities, while their eyes are free. Because of that, the perceived audio content is more believable. It's a perfect experience for historical important places for example and also the perfect empathy machine.
Potential Market Value or Commercial Value；
Commercial value is that we sell tailor made experiences to B2B clients - Seebühne Mörbisch for example. The range of potential clients is almost infinite from tourism to theme parks to educational institutions to big corporations or shopping malls.
Public value is that users, esp. kids, are tricked into learning something with our experience. Also we can offer AR audio tours through cities where people can choose various topics. Again, the usage of our product is limitless and mentioning all possibilities here would need a lot more characters.
Potential Field of Application：
Museums, Tourist Organizations as well as Educational Institutions
