Voices in Ruins

"Voice in Ruins", an interactive sound installation created by Beckman Institute researchers, is currently on display at the Krannert Art Museum on the UIUC campus. Using telepresence technology, Open House visitors can enter a virtual gallery in the ISL, talk with visitors in the KAM gallery, and share their interactions in an acoustic spatial simulation. Remote collaboration enables visitors' mutual exploration of a sensory database of historical speech recordings. The structured temporal and spatial interaction model provides a working example of the Archaeology of Information.
