Voices of Liberty Interactive Audio Experience – Designed by Potion
October 16, 2010 | In: Applications
Combining location-based sensing with seamless audio mixing, Potion’s groundbreaking “Voices of Liberty” interactive experience at the Museum of Jewish Heritage intimately connects visitors to the immigrant experience while encouraging interaction with other visitors. Potion worked closely with the exhibit design firm C&G Partners and with editor Andy Green to create a seamless audio experience across the exhibit’s nine themed zones. The voices of immigrants, heard through personal audio devices, are never interrupted by a hard cut even when transitioning across the zones. Taking what is normally an isolating experience, Potion developed an iPod application and custom software to synchronize audio playback with other devices in the same area, allowing visitors to hear stories and share their reactions at the same time. Potion’s software further supports the experience by identifying the current speaker, providing access to a transcript of the interview, and indicating where the visitor has been with an onscreen map. To extend the experience beyond the museum, the application incorporates stories from a companion website created by C&G, providing an opportunity for visitors to contribute to the ongoing dialogue.
