The Whisperers: An Interactive Exhibition. Using Voice as Navigation for an Experiential Interface in a Museum Environment Figure 6. Main circuit inside the structure consisting of microcontrollers, displays, a firewire interface, and an Apple-Mini Design of Technology The audio capture consists of a firewire interface using the Tascam 1800 component. Initially, breakout boards using electret amplifiers were tested: responsive and accurate sound capture and its process flow were difficult after failing to obtain the correct range of values for a whispered enaction. Further research and testing proved these devices not to be suited for the input capture. Condenser microphones and their flexible wiring were imperative to fit into small areas especially the pipes. Gain levels had to be adjusted for filtering out background noise and the requirement of close proximity to the microphone. This was successful only with a small margin of error: the video needed a certain decibel level to play. The placement of the user’s mouth near the mic didn’t matter as much as the loudness of the voice. Whispers merged into low voices or murmurs proved to be a bit more successful when the user was at a comfortable distant away from the inputs. However, whispering closer to the microphone proved the desired result. It was decided that since the microphone can’t denote an actual whisper, suggestions from the backdrop to whisper were the only speech command or requirement. It was also decided that since any user would not most likely shout at the structure, the low murmurs or voices from other users would be suggestive. The output imagery consists of: 1. Two videos each with several video clips consisting of birds eye views of families cooking, a couple talking low in close quarters, a man listening to an illegal radio broadcast, a high view of a surveillance camera inside a kommunlka, a man shot from above walking up a stairwell, two men kissing in a dark room, a fight in a stairwell, a bribe or some deal happening in a corner. The user glimpses through several windows to see this output. An important part of this interaction is a set of the volume of the microphone at a cap: any user voice louder than a whisper will not cause any action or reaction. This is a decibel threshold. A whisper or low voice at a certain level would be vital for this activity. The user must also be in close proximity to the amplifying microphone. This filters out the background noise around the model NODEM 2014 Conference & Expo 110

A silhouette of a family having dinner behind a damask wallpaper and having a private discussion denotes the family scene at a dinner as an example of intense emotional privacy. What was often discusses during this family ritual could be heard by outsiders as incriminating. This is also lit by an electro-luminescent panel. Figure 8.

This is backed by an electro-luminescent panel. Figure 9. Silhouette backed on an EL Panel suggesting a private if not subversive conversation NODEM 2014 CONFERENCE & EXPO 111
