Play with the pitch of your voice!

When you speak, you make the air around you vibrate. How high or low your voice sounds depends on the frequency of these vibrations-that is, how much many times the air moves back and forth per second. The faster the vibration, the higher the sound.

Listen to your own voice slightly after you have spoken.

When you speak, you continually modify what you say,as you say it. You compare the quality of the sounds you make with those you intend to produce, and adjust your speech accordingly. This feedback process seems to be important in the ability to speak coherently. You also rely on other kinds of feedback such as the feel of the movement of your lips, tongue, and teeth, and the vibrations of your vocal cords in the bones of your jaw.

Sound orientation
Try to decipher the position of the instrument.

MusicSpace is a spatical design user interface that enables users to visually and interactively control spatial arrangements, constraints, interrelationships and motions of sound sources such as drums and piano. To reproduce sounds, this system visualises a sound source and its parameter and then calculates the direction and the volume of each sound in real time based on their locations on the screen.

Use your hands to create an exciting rhythm!

Inside this table is a special sensor called SmartSkin, created by the Sony Computer Science Laboratories,Inc.SmartSkin is a sensor that can sense the small amount of electricity in humans. It sends signals to the computer, which controls the sound and images.

Change the shape using different voices!

Sound can be divided into three elements: volume, pitch, and quality. Our voice is a complex series of layers of these elements. Voice Visualizer comprehensively changes and visualizes each object, where volume is represented by size, pitch by change direction, and quality by color.

Press the button and send a text message!

Cell phone data communication uses the packet exchange format.Data (packet data) is divided into small parts and exchanged on a line shared by many people.This prevents the communication line from being used exclusively and allows many people to use it efficiently.

How is sound delivered?

CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is a system of efficient communication where sound is compressed using special codes.With CDMA, a third party attempting interception will only hear noise,making it a communication method that allows high confidentiality.

Experience how cell phones work in motion!

Information concerning a cell phone's position is registered in a database called HLR (Home Location Register).Cell phones communicate via radio waves with base stations under HLR management, and radio waves are sent to the receiver.If a cell phone moves beyond the range sends this information to the base station covering the cell phone's new position, making uninterrupted communication possible.This process of switching base stations during a call is called a handover.
