Exhibition period: September 1–28, 2025 (9:00–17:00)
Venue: OIST Tunnel Gallery, Okinawa
We successfully presented the immersive sound exhibition “Nature Resonance, Urban Echoes,” exploring how contrasting soundscapes—natural environments and urban noise—shape perception and behavior. The installation combined a multi-speaker 3D audio system with synchronized visuals, creating a public-space experiment that observed how sound and scene influence movement and attention.
