Sound and Physical Interaction

Sound and Physical Interaction (SOPI), a new research group in the Department of Media, is focusing on sound and its emerging role in New Media practices.

SOPI research group deals with digital sound in more aesthetically engaging forms. The group is interested in the research and implementation of sound design together with physical interaction practices on various levels to advance their roles and impact in the future of media and interactive art. Together with practice, applied and academic research, the SOPI research group aims to collaborate with national and international research projects, as well as the industry partners.

RESEARCH TOPICS

The scope of the SOPI research group includes all aspects of computational analysis, synthesis and processing as applied to sound in New Media practices; communication, audio-visual production, computer music and interactive art.

SOPI research focus areas include but not limited to;
- Multimodal Interfaces
- Physical Interaction
- Mobile Music
- Embodied approaches to Sonic Interaction
- Participatory Music Experience
- Computational Models for Audiovisual Performances
