RE: Fashion Lab | AudioScape

Evoking the senses

Aside from visual interactivity and personalization, the ReFashion Lab also introduces sound to the experience. AudioScape compiles layers of a uniquely composed music piece which are activated by different visitors. Certain layers are turned on in active zones and are dependent on the presence and movement of the user in their specific fashion artifact. There are four active zones of the AudioScape and as visitors traverse through different zones, a “synchronized and spatial acoustic experience is created that is unique to each moment.”

The fundamental objective of the ReFashion Lab is to trigger multi-sensual interactions specific to users and the environments they occupy through a hybrid space of digital media and architectural space. These occurrences are not as direct, but they result from a person’s natural exploration of a place.
