Sound art encourages visitors to experience their space with specific sound resources in a creative way. In other words, with specific sound resources, students will be able to redesign their everyday space as an interactive environment. Based on the sound art practice, MART581E will culminate in a final project, an immersive soundscape with VR technology.

Using a resources from a VE grant, students were provided with a VR development environment. During the pandemic, students made virtual soundscape projects with the professional video game development tool, Unity Editor. They created 2D RPG (Role-Playing Game() soundscape projects, which allow visitors to experience a unique soundspace as an artistic video game. With Oculus Quest2, Gopro Max, and Zoom H3-VR, the 2D soundscape project was developed into an immersive 3D soundscape project. Based on the concepts from the individual 2D soundscape projects, students created their own 3D VR soundscape projects. They learned about how to design 3D virtual soundscape projects, which provide users with a new method to understand a town, a city, and a country with specific sound resources. Learning virtual reality technology will contribute to enhancing their new media art/design skills for their future careers.
