Sonic Toy Land

A Virtual Interface for Musical Expression

Sonic Toy Land is a Virtual Interface for Musical Expression (VIME) that creatively combines childhood nostalgia with advanced audio technology in an immersive VR environment. Designed as a life-sized virtual playroom, the project enables users to interact with toys and arrange them to create custom musical patterns, functioning like a sequencer. By incorporating spatial audio techniques, Sonic Toy Land provides a sensory-rich experience, dynamically reflecting user interactions in an imaginative, interactive space. This project was developed in collaboration with Ayden Williams and Maddie Vassalo.
