Interactive Architecture
These Mediascapes both realized and conceptual illustrate how interactive visual digital media can create an immersive landscape of cinematic computerized information. Applications include science and engineering oriented data visualization, experiential education, network interfaces for business and commercial uses, subconscious cinemascapes used to soothe or stimulate the observer, or simply to graphically illustrate a concept in a cohesive visual format for advertising or marketing purposes.
The Soundscape concepts presented here illustrate how immersive audio signals can be used to create a specific atmosphere with relation to conscious and subliminal sound perception. Applications for soundscapes include: three dimensional audio interactivity for data visualization, immersive sonic atmospheres aimed at a selected emotion or mental state such as is seen in music, or for immersive language based communication which can be used for educational, scientific, or marketing purposes. Bass and Sub Bass waves have a physical impact on the human body releasing endorphins causing a relaxed state and heightened ability to take in and process information.
Aromascapes used primarily for emotion engineering can be used to heal and sooth the perceiver through pheromone release. Olfactory stimulus has a direct relation to memory, emotion and imagination which make this one of the most powerful ways to affect an observers mood. Used correctly, aromascapes can create healthy reactions by influencing social and physiological states in the observer, causing a relaxed state and heightened ability to take in and process information.
