CEO and Founder of Sonic Minds Karsten Kjems will give concrete examples of how to work strategically with sound design and will dive into two of his cases: The MitID app sound and the Jabra headset product sound. He will talk about what collaborating with clients mean for the creative process, how not to make noise with sound and how to be aware and conscious about sound.
Finally, Fredrik Hagman of Volvo will give a talk about how Volvo utilizes sound design in their cars. What to consider, when and why to put sound into an interactive experience, and most importantly, when not to. He will also elaborate on how to communicate with sound and how to nudge the user to interact as desired.
