Introduction：

Students are required to create an audio image using any combination of the following elements. The audio must be presented from a first-person perspective, allowing the listener to visualize what is happening through sound alone. The audio should tell the story of the chosen scene. No voices or dialogue are allowed.

The available scene options are as follows:

  • Wildlife + Background

  • Daily Life + Background

  • City + Traffic + Exterior

  • Industrial and Electronic Sound Effects + Background

  • Weather + Background

  • Market + Rural Ambience + Background

I chose "wildlife + background" as the setting for my sound design, depicting a tour group setting off by bus to the grasslands to see wild animals.

Background And Foreground：

In the early hours of the morning, when the first light of dawn brushed across the horizon, the tour group set out on an unforgettable adventure. The members boarded rugged off-road vehicles, their engines rumbling softly as they journeyed deep into the vast grasslands. The air was cool and fresh, filled with the earthy scent of dew and wild grass.

After a long ride through winding dirt paths, they arrived at a small, tranquil river. Mist hovered lightly above the water, shimmering under the gentle sunlight. On the opposite bank, a large herd of sheep grazed peacefully, while a group of elephants stood nearby, their deep calls echoing across the open plain as they drank and splashed in the water. The rhythmic sounds of nature—flowing water, rustling grass, and the distant cries of birds—created a vivid symphony of the wild.

As the vehicles moved further into the heart of the savanna, the atmosphere grew more majestic. Soon, the travelers came upon a breathtaking sight—a pride of lions resting lazily under the shade of an acacia tree. The golden fur of the lions glowed warmly in the morning sun. Nearby, a few playful lion cubs tumbled over one another, swatting with their tiny paws and chasing their tails, while the lionesses watched over them with quiet vigilance.


First, I organized the necessary audio files, and then I imported them into the AU software.

To make the background effect more expansive and ethereal, I made a few simple modifications.




I added fade-in and fade-out effects to make the sound transitions more natural and less abrupt.

Ding Jiaqi/0379388 Embedded systems / Bachelor of interactive spatial design Week 1 Class Summary and Reflection In this class, I gained a deeper understanding of the integration of embedded systems and interactive spatial design. I learned that embedded systems are widely used in fields such as smart homes and industrial automation, while interactive spaces enhance user experiences through technologies like holograms, LED walls, and VR/AR. Additionally, the class provided a detailed explanation of the requirements and content of Assignment 1, helping us understand how to complete it effectively, including selecting appropriate embedded system concepts and interactive design approaches and integrating them to create an engaging interactive space. During the class discussion, we conducted a group discussion on Assignment 1, exchanging ideas and ultimately deciding on our project’s theme—conveying the concept of environmental protection. We aim to use embedded systems and interactive sp...
