DSSC Laser sonic art with Neutone
Abstract
This page documents a system to generate a sonification process that using dye sensitized solar cell as "photophone" to convert laser projection on dye sensitized solar cell glass to audio outputs. Solar cells can be used for energy harvesting and also light sensor. And because the solar panel has big surface area, it can also be used as photosensitive sensor to recognize graphical projection patterns. The system is mainly composed with the signal sender (laser projector) and the receiver (DSSC glass applied with a AI filter) as a light communication and a sonicfication system.
What is [Neutone]"
"Neutone makes AI technologies accessible for all to experiment with. You'll find transformative AI audio instruments that will spark endless creative possibilities. Neutone is a go-to platform for you to share real-time AI audio processing models with potential users in the audio production community." In this experiment, Neutone is used as a filter effect for the laser signal, in the video below, the raw laser signal and filtered result is compared. The Neutone AI models are downloaded from the Neutone plugin.
