Sound Interaction App

Project Overview

This project explores the intersection of sound and interaction design. I was challenged to conceptualize and design an application where sound is a central part of the user experience. Whether functional, playful, or a hybrid, the goal was to push beyond conventional interaction methods using sound as input, output, or both.

Concept & Visual Design

WildCall Pro is a next-generation wildlife app that combines the AI-powered sound recognition of the Merlin Bird ID app with the extensive call library of iHunt 750, offering users a powerful tool for both nature observation and hunting. The app identifies animals through recorded or live audio, provides access to over 1,000 categorized animal calls (including birds, mammals, and predators), and allows users to create custom call sequences for field use. It features a GPS-enabled sightings log, offline functionality, and AI-driven behavior tracking that suggests the best times and call types for specific species. With Bluetooth speaker integration, remote call playback, and region-specific downloadable packs, WildCall Pro serves both tech-savvy hunters and wildlife enthusiasts. A freemium model offers core features for free, while premium users gain access to advanced tracking, full call libraries, and AI insights for a fully immersive outdoor experience.
