The StoryBox is an image processing program that preserves moments through sound. In a world full of visual snapshots of life, rarely are those moments simultaneously captured through music. The StoryBox software allows images throughout time to be captured and composed into a series of auditory experiences. 

Towns, cities, and landscapes are constantly evolving. With the threat of climate change transforming and destroying the earth's natural beauties, war destruction, and new development, an image alone can not preserve or capture the full experience of a place before it disappears. For this project, the StoryBox captures archived images of Palestine pre-colonization. As more and more land is annexed, it is important to create multiple different preserved representations of the beautiful landscape. The natural scenery and towns were then processed and programmed to create an auditory interpretation of the image. By analyzing the colors, depth, and outlined shapes of the images, the software was then able to assign notes and compose a sound.

The StoryBox software allows images throughout time to be captured and composed into a series of auditory experiences.

Towns, cities, and landscapes are constantly evolving. With the threat of climate change transforming and destroying the earth's natural beauty, destruction from wars, and persistent new development, an image alone can not preserve or capture the full experience of a place before it disappears. The StoryBox captures archived images of Palestine pre-colonization. As more and more Palestinian land is annexed, it is important to create multiple different preserved representations of  its beautiful landscape. The natural scenery and towns in pre-colonized Palestine are processed and programmed to create an auditory interpretation of the images from this land's history. By analyzing the colors, depth, and outlined shapes of the images, the software is then able to assign notes and compose a sound.

Our project Bridging the Senses is a design that takes in an image and turns it into a musical sound. The program exists to get away from the boring museum environment of staring at images/painting all day to listen to the world around us in music. This project will help all different types of people from blind people to your everyday person wanting a new perspective. Bridging the Senses will provide a new view of a painting or image in a new way to express more emotion with the music it outputs. For Bridging the Senses goal will be to capture the sound of a pre-colonized Palestine and issues around the world. The project will tell the story within the images and finds the emotion within to show the listener a new way of experiencing art. Bridging the Senses has a color sensor in order to see the images/ object it is looking at. It will then compose a series of notes and chords the color corresponds to and output the sound it creates to the listener.
