Description
Astrum is an interactive architecture that allows users to share and rate music or videos in public places. Astrum is an architecture that opens and closes its screen and sound range depending on the popularity of the playlist. To start the interaction, the user first needs to have the Astrum Mobile application software which can be either downloaded online or when the user is near Astrum. Once the user is within a range of 1 meter from the nearest Astrum structure, the application will activate and hint the user to upload his playlist to share, the playlist can include both videos and music and will have a limit of 10 songs and videos combined. If currently there is a queue, the user will be notified of his queue number, and if he leaves the range limit of Astrum, his queue number will be forfeited. Once the upload is complete, Astrum’s screen will open at a level of a 1 person crowd, the size of the screen and sound range is determined by the size of the crowd, so once the crowd size increases, Astrum’s screen size as well as the range of the directional speakers will increase as well. If by 5 minutes, the user is unable to attract a crowd, his playlist will be stopped and he will have to queue again. Besides representing the crowd size, the screen size and sound range increases so more people will be able to view the video and at the same time attract people near that area. Once the crowd size decreases, Astrum’s screen size and sound range will reduce relatively, the opening and closing process is repeated till the crowd disperses or till the playlist finishes. Since the projection has to be from a high altitude to prevent blockage from people, Astrum function in pairs and opposite structures project the images onto each other. The sound range is controlled by directional speakers that senses and adjusts its range depending on the size of the audiences.
