Pre-NIME Workshop - Auditory Augmentation of Everyday Objects with Near Real-time Data
Auditory augmentation is a design and development paradigm for the creation of unobtrusive data representation layers that enhance the sonic characteristic of arbitrary physical objects. Unobtrusive, partly because of activity-driven feedback, Pleasing, non-permanent sound scape. See more at http://tangibleauditoryinterfaces.de/

Pre-NIME Workshop - Auditory Augmentation of Everyday Objects with Near Real-time Data
With typewriter. Measuring mood of the person typing. (E.g) body temperature and other physiological states. In offices and museums. Other real time data drivers: time of the day, urgency etc. Challenge: how to measure artist’s cultural impact in real time (is it near then at all ?) http://vimeo.com/19581079

MindBox was presented at Sonic Interaction Design exhibition.
According the creators, the installation attracts visitors' senses offering a joyful gambling- game around musical, choreographical and cinematographical elements as dance & beat-boxing.
The latter expression describes a form of vocal percussion from which the installation derives its title.
