Sound To Sight

🎉 We are proud to announce our victory at the International Sound Awards | Audio Branding Academy in the “Universal Sound Design” category! 🎉 At Sound To Sight we have always been committed to enhancing everyday life and creating desirable narratives through sound. We believe that every new experience should be thoughtfully crafted by integrating space and use, cultural, cognitive, and physical differences, while also considering the many layers of life and our soundscapes. This is why this project is so special, as it serves 620,000 passengers daily. Our innovative project, titled “Soundscapes for Train Stations: A Guiding Poetry,” focuses on the RER line E, which spans 35 stations across the Paris region. 🗣️ What makes our project so special? We designed unique auditory icons (#earcons) for each station, connecting the history and regional characteristics of each location. This sound design not only helps users, particularly those with visual impairments, detect stations more easily but also enriches the travel experience for everyone. ✨ The results speak for themselves: • 75% of users find the sounds representative of the region. • 67% believe it adds value to the line. • 65% feel their journey is more personalized. 🤝 This project would not have been possible without close collaboration with SNCF Voyageurs and other stakeholders, aiming to make public transport more inclusive and accessible. 🔍 Why is this award important? It highlights the positive impact of our work on how we perceive and interact with our environment. As "composers with a purpose", our mission is to humanize technology and make every sound experience relevant and engaging. Thank you to everyone who supported this project and to our team who put so much effort into this unique sound creation! 👉 #SoundDesign #Inclusion #Innovation #SNCF #InternationalSoundAwards #SoundToSight #UX #Communication #Design #Mobility #Transportation Cc.

We are thrilled to announce that Sound To Sight will be participating in the prestigious Internoise 2024 in Nantes from August 25-29! 🌍🎶 Our co-founder, Antoine Châron, will have the honor of presenting a scientific paper titled “Striking the Right Note: Balancing AVAS in Tomorrow’s Soundscapes” alongside Eléonore RICHARD from MSC Software Hexagon (anciennement MSC Software). 🚗🔊 Don’t miss their presentation during session 17.5, “Perception and Sound Design for Electric Vehicles,” on Wednesday, 28/08, at 10 AM in Room I. This is an incredible opportunity to explore the future of acoustic vehicle alerting systems (AVAS) and how we can create harmonious soundscapes including electric vehicles. 🚙🔇🎵 We are looking forward to insightful discussions and networking with fellow experts and enthusiasts in the field of acoustics. See you there! #Internoise2024 #SoundToSight #Acoustics #ElectricVehicles #AVAS #SoundDesign #Nantes #Soundscape Connect with us if you’ll be attending or if you’re interested in this exciting topic! 🚀

Sound To Sight est ravie de vous dévoiler une toute nouvelle collaboration, 100% française ! 🇫🇷 - COYOTE -, connue pour ses solutions dédiées à la sécurité des conducteurs et des véhicules, a fait appel à notre équipe pour travailler ensemble sur le développement de la nouvelle expérience sonore de l’ensemble de ses produits d’aide à la conduite : application et boîtier embarqué. 🎶 Nous avons travaillé avec notre méthode collaborative, avec l'équipe projet et les utilisateurs du service Coyote, afin de générer une navigation plus apaisante, engageante et bienveillante, mais aussi qui permette de reconnaître, sans quitter la route des yeux, une identité et une signature de marque forte. Nos objectifs pour l’utilisateur·ice étaient clairs : 🧠  Faciliter l’appréhension des événements, avec une ergonomie améliorée, une charge cognitive réduite et une concentration sur la route accrue, 😎 Fluidifier l’expérience utilisateur par des alertes intelligibles pendant le parcours de conduite, 🔊 Donner des informations qui se veulent évolutives, en fonction des dangers à venir et de la progression dans une zone de contrôle, 🤝 Permettre de se retrouver dans un univers connu mais qui évolue avec une nouvelle signature sonore mémorable. Par son design bienveillant, l’alerting sonore de Coyote permet ainsi de prévenir, sans ajouter une couche de stress supplémentaire, et donc de diminuer la charge cognitive pour faciliter l’adoption d’un comportement de conduite plus serein. Vous pourrez entendre un aperçu de ce design sonore dans la communication de Coyote, disponible sur les différents réseaux et site web. ----- #DesignSonore #AudioBranding #ChargeCognitive #ApplicationsMobiles #SécuritéRoutière #InnovationTechnologique #ExpérienceUtilisateur #MarqueSonore #TechnologieEtSécurité #OptimisationSonore #Ergonomie #CoyoteApp #ConduiteAssistée #SécuritéDesConducteurs #SystèmesEmbarqués #SonEtSécurité #SignalisationAuditive #MobilitéConnectée
