While many researchers have experimented with visual Augmented Reality, development in the area of sound Augmented Reality is currently lacking. Using incoming Ambient sounds and location to generate interactive contents represents an unlimited source of entertainment that remains untapped.
The Ambee project aims to create an interactive application that provides entertainment by analyzing incoming sounds and having an on-screen character react and generate music and other contents based on sound analysis.
Ambee dynamically adjusts the contents being o ered to the user, therefore no two locations are the same and no two users have the same experience. This in return creates a sense of Serendipity that if approached correctly, would have unlimited potential to generate in-app contents.
This thesis analyzes the viability of this concept in mainstream electronics, consumer interest, as well as information on the design framework and the experiences that are be o ered to our target user.
