Abstract

This paper presents the demo of the interactive listening installation The Living Tree, where surface transducers were deployed in a real-life setting to design immersive and affectively engaging sonic interactions exploring the life of trees. The surface transducer technology emits vibrations through whatever material you press it against, turning the material into a speaker. We present the design of the project which we will demo at DIS and elaborate on how surface transducers can be used as a design material for creating rich interactive experiences.
