Sonic City

The Future Applications Lab at Vikktoria Institute in G?ɬ?teborg, Sweden built Sonic City a project that’s a sort of cross between an iPod (in which sound comes from a unit you carry) and Mark Shepard’s Tactical Sound Garden (in which sound comes from your surroundings via wifi). Users wear a garment with an integrated laptop that takes sounds from the user’s surroundings, senses the user’s context and actions as they walk through the city to create music to blend with these sounds and outputs the results through headphones.
