This project under­lines the impor­tance of an environment’s sound and also its quality.

Sound Win­dow is an object par­tic­u­larly adapted to places with­out a win­dow, places with­out sound envi­ron­ment — as in urban areas. The device enables the user to play an exter­nal sound back­ground in one’s home.

Like a real win­dow which brings light and air into a home, Sound Win­dow brings a real sound envi­ron­ment into your per­sonal space.

These sounds are taken from a life’s spe­cial places : relax­ation, travel — a mar­ket in Mar­rakech, a trop­i­cal wood, a beach etc. All these sounds increase the vol­ume of a room‘s environment.

This object can be eas­ily and intu­itively used. The left side of the win­dow adjusts the sound vol­ume. The more you open it the more you increase it. The right side of the win­dow selects the sound land­scape and allows many open­ing positions.

The sound land­scape is for­warded by Wifi. The easy con­nec­tion to a HiFi sys­tem with an audio cable gives a [bet­ter] home cin­ema sound.

The lis­tener is totally immersed in a real and vibrant sound land­scape with unlim­ited envi­ron­ment diversity.

This con­cept is quite inter­est­ing and I like it alot. Now, if there pro­gram­ma­ble locales, that would make it even bet­ter. Learn­ing a lan­guage would be a lot eas­ier if you heard the natives speak­ing in the back­ground while you’re doing other work.
