Review of Paula, Sam and Joseph

Paula's, Sam's and Joseph's piece was very interesting. It began as a stationary listening device which would envelop the user in a soundscape from far regions within the room. I believe their final iteration was a lot stronger for many reasons. The interaction was strong but requires a final step that was missing in it. Its simplistic nature limits its nature however it is strong in design already even in its current concept. With the addition of other prototypes (as suggested by critics) in a large environment such as a gymnasium (possibily pitch black to reinforce the importance of sound in this) users could possibily interact with each other using these as further extensions; even more so than currently since they would rely on the sensations the headgear provides in order to interact in the environment. As stated however, the concept is strong and utilizes their ideas perfectly. It seems as though it only requires a stage or concept for itself to be utilized within.
