Research material, small digital experiments and ideas for story flow, look and feel of immersive digital animation for MAP mima application support

Above: Experimenting with microbat recordings from Lake Macquarie region and ways to visualise  the 3D latent space of sound.

Idea of look and feel for first part of the work, as recognisable landscapes emerge- almost as if they are formed from the sounds

Above: experimenting with existing touch designer work and pairing with binaural bat echolocation recording

Idea of look and feel for generating digital landscape elements from video and scans.

Above: ideas of look and feel of digital landscape from realworld spaces, with visualisation of sound elements emerging from the landscape

Below: experimenting with expanded spectrum: imagining infrared

Below: Scientists examining and tagging a local microbat

Above:  look and feel of similar projection immersive spaces, for design ideas

Below: example of real world impact from cultural and art-led engagement: traditional weaving techniques by Gumbaynggirr elders was used to weave roosts for Golden tipped bats after habitat loss from fire (video courtesy Fernanda Tique-Bernal)
