Project #2 - Chroma Chronicle

Chroma Chronicle

Chroma Chronicle is a mobile application which captures the memory of a location/experience through visuals and audio. The idea is similar to how one would use a camera. The user must acknowledge the space they are in and make a decision to capture this experience by sending a request to the chroma chronicle application.

The application takes the longitude and latitude of the user and maps the longitude coordinate to a visual (color) and the latitude to a tone. The user can then collect these results and playback as a visual/auditory record of a trip, etc. This can then be exported to one's email and be shared online with others.

The big part of the application is that the user is an active participant in creating an archive of their travels. It's a way to create an actual 'soundtrack for our lives' and a way to remember these experiences through a stimulus of our senses. The tones and colors are assigned randomly to the longitude and latitude coordinates.
