Wade in the Water

تجربة تفاعلية لالصحوات: واد في المعرض المياه

Wade in the Water is a unique and innovative app combining Echoes’ location-triggered content with advanced indoor location technology. Artist John Duckworth (Charleston, USA) commissioned Echoes to fulfill a challenging design brief for an interactive indoor sound installation in a disused warehouse space.

The app utilises cutting-edge indoor location technology to sense the listener’s exact position within the space and trigger sound ‘placed’ in that location. For the listener, no extra equipment is needed apart from a standard smartphone.

As listeners walk around the space, a gospel choir sings a piece in which each singer’s voice is placed at a specific position, and you can walk through the performance as it’s happening, with each singer getting louder or quieter as you approach their location. Another part features testimonials which you can ‘discover’ by standing in the right position.

Echoes.xyz combined their existing location-based audio platform with brand new indoor location sensing technology to bring outdoor audio tours and experiences indoors.
