From exploring audio-reactive visuals in TouchDesigner to conceptualizing and designing a simple app prototype in Figma, it was so much fun! It all began with a curiosity about how different languages visually manifest through sound, leading me to experiment with various tools and techniques.
I am so happy that I dived into TouchDesigner a bit more I learned a lot about creating and manipulating visuals, especially making them respond to audio inputs which was very fun to learn. Also Along the way, I listened to the German alphabet countless times, which was unexpectedly useful (and quite amusing🤭)
Transitioning to Figma, I designed a mini prototype for a pronunciation visualizer app. This app allows users to select their native language and a language they wish to learn, providing real-time visual feedback on pronunciation patterns. The thing is, I had so many ideas for using the visuals in a practical application. Ultimately, I focused on perfecting the visuals, which was both challenging and rewarding.
Next Step
Looking ahead, I see a lot of potential for expanding this project. For example a Language Learning Kit with developing a comprehensive language learning kit using these types of visuals could make learning more engaging. Different visuals for different languages might be interesting. Or in the testing phase, it would be interesting to test the visuals with deaf individuals to see if they can detect patterns in each language. This could open up new ways of understanding and teaching languages. So I’m excited about the possibilities and let’s see if I will work on more on this project in the future!
