Existing hybrid collaboration products/services focus on visuality and overlook the auditory experience. Our team created FLOW which uses spatial audio to create a collaborative experience that bridges virtuality and physicality. In FLOW, the light changes according to the user's feeling, supporting collaboration for better communication and engagement. FLOW controls sound waves according to the movement of users. In the prototype stage, we developed different lengths of speakers to represent different waves and hung them on the ceiling to feel three-dimensional sound.

The Space Between : Organizations these days only focus on the visual sense. However, people use more senses than visual. According to our research, we found that hearing is as important as seeing, sometimes even more important. In our project, we focused on the auditory sense by incorporating three dimensional sound with the visual experience.
