Voice Specimens — Shake Lambda Vue, 2024

Computer vision models can recovers speech from the vibrations off objects. Using Lambda Vue, a software that amplifies small motions in video, the project creates type specimens from object vibrations. 

Placing different materials under a microscope we capture and translated speech data from this visual information. Here we said tinfoil over tinfoil and extracted visual markers for each sound and letter.  

In collaboration with Caroline Trigo, Mavis Yue Cao, Christie Wu
