Introduction

In this week’s project, you’ll be challenged to think about interfaces in a new way. Rather than an interface to control the world of sight, we want you to develop an interface to control the world of sound.

Option 1: Beginner

  • Create a soundscape for one of your prior projects (refer to the tutorial series for Audio in Week 4). This soundscape can have multiple Audio Sources but…
  • One of your audio sources should be controlled by a physical interface (a button, potentiometer, etc…). Refer to this week’s Unity Tutorial videos for examples.

You may make use of Creative Commons sound effects and music.

Bonus, refer to this great Reddit thread detailing a number of good and free sound resources:

Option 2: Advanced

Do everything in part 1, except have your interface control multiple audio sources in your scene, and/or have multiple input sensors that influence your soundscape.
