I really liked the "Audioscope" project done by Paula, Sam, and Joseph. The first thing that struck me was the unique approach towards an interaction that they chose. Instead of creating a game like most groups, they have created an interaction that alters one of your senses, creating a really unique experience. The way that the sound waves resonate through the "Audioscope" creates an intriguingly bizarre ambient noise. The warping of a sense like hearing takes an otherwise normal experience and alters your sense of space, and perception. I think that is a great approach. In my opinion it produces a much more rewarding experience than playing a game.
I thought the design of the piece was perfect for its intentions. The way that the "Audioscope" expands your peripheral sense of your own space adds to the overall experience of this interaction. The varied choice of materials fit the aesthetic of the "Audioscope" perfectly. It's design incorporates a strong style and functionality as well. Very strong piece.
The website fits the aesthetic of the piece as well. The bold font and dynamic design choices mirror the bold design of the physical piece. I especially like the camera angles in the photography used on the site. You get a full understanding of the piece and the process used to create it through the images provided.
Overall I enjoyed all aspects of the "Audioscope. The concept, the process, the presentation, and the website were all considered, and designed in a bold and dynamic style. I agree with the critic and think that it would be interesting to see how people would react to to the piece if they were in a room with multiple people wearing their "Audioscopes". It would definitely add another interesting aspect to the interaction.
