Sonolope

Sonolope is an iPhone/Android app that enables you to generate three-dimensional soundscapes as you move your phone or smartwatch.

The project was jointly created and run by Maria Kapsali (University of Leeds) and Simon East (Curvor Limited) from 2014 to 2019.
 
Sonolope used an app that was installed on your smartphone or smartwatch. As a  user you could hold, or have strapped  the device on any part of your body. When you moved a specific sound linked to your device was produced: this could have been a piano, a synthesiser, a set of samples, or any other kind of sound. The sounds moved around the room in three dimensions and respond to your movements with changes in pitch, volume and duration. For example, the quicker you moved the phone the louder the sound would be.
