• Catch
  • Hitler
  • Sirens?
• Everyday Life
  • There are people who don’t necessarily take war-related content seriously because they have the luxury of living in a safe environment where they are not regularly exposed to the sirens of World War II.
• However, a century ago, radio emerged as a novel interface during a war.
• The radio is introduced and elevated.
  • Narration: Radio has been used to transmit information from the battlefield…
• Our aim was to transform this device into a bridge between the past and the present.
• Usage
• Experience
• Method
  • Input

• Key Points
  • Exploratory: Actively experiencing images
  • Digital Archive: Processing a large amount of archives, contrasting with museums
  • Tangible: Utilizing metaphors, etc.
• Potential Applications
  • Instead of being restricted to a table, we can expand the augmented reality to allow users to freely explore the content within the space.

(blu3mo) Notes

• By placing a device in a space, that space can metaphorically become a “miniature world” with a timeline.
  • Even without changing the subject itself, indirect meanings can be conveyed.
  • Is the term “augmented space” suitable for this concept?

Demo Ideas:

• 1925 London - Everyday radio broadcasts

• 1925 Tokyo - Everyday radio broadcasts

• 1929 New York - News broadcasts during the Great Depression

• 1935 Berlin - Speeches before and after Hitler’s rise to power

• 1939 Warsaw - Sounds of tanks and invasion

• 1940 London - Air raid sirens (Battle of Britain)

• 1941 Hawaii - Sounds of the Pearl Harbor attack

• 1941 Tokyo - Radio broadcasts declaring war

• 1945 Nagasaki - Sounds of the atomic bomb or silence

• In between these events, regular everyday sounds can fill the gaps to avoid complete silence.

• Examples of transitions:

  • 1925 New York - Everyday radio broadcasts
  • Dial to switch from 1925 to 1929
    • US radio 1925
  • 1929 New York - News broadcasts during the Great Depression
    • Surprisingly hard to find
  • Move the radio to Berlin
  • Dial to switch from 1929 to 1935
  • 1935 Berlin - Hitler’s rise to power and speeches
  • Dial to switch from 1935 to 1939
  • 1939 Berlin to Warsaw - Sounds of tanks and invasion
    • Contrasting radios could play jubilant music in Berlin and despairing sounds in Warsaw
      • []
      • Warsaw
  • 1945 Nagasaki - Sound of the atomic bomb explosion leading to white noise
  • 1945 Tokyo - Emperor’s announcement
