About Otowav Kujitia
Otowav iliundwa ili kutoa uumbaji wa kipekee kwa mtu maalum na kutoa uwezekano wa kueleza hisia ambazo maneno pekee hayatatosha. Ikitoka kwa neno la Kijapani la mawimbi ya sauti, oto, Otowav inawakilisha mahali, ambapo hisia, sauti na maneno hukutana katika vipimo vitatu. Kama msemo wa zamani unavyoenda, picha ina thamani ya maneno elfu. Lakini maneno yanaweza pia kuchora picha. Kila mara mtu anapozungumza, sauti zao hutoa mawimbi yanayoitwa maumbo ya sauti. Otowav hutafsiri hisia za mtu katika vipimo vitatu, na kuunda muundo wa kipekee kulingana na sauti ya sauti zao.

- Production Technology
- Each item of our designs is linked to a unique personalized message. It is then sculpted through our algorithm making each design unique. We felt that three dimensional printing was the production solution that could full fill our expectetions to deliver the most promising experience for the user.
- Design Challenge
- The transition process from a sounwave form to a three dimensional object was very demanding both design and production wise.
In terms of visualization the information given by the soundwave through the algorithm that was created, had to be broken down to a minimal form that could communicate the message visualy through an elegant contemporary design.
The customisation of each design resulted in a production process that included 3d printing and the NFC technology used for transferring the personal audio message that is embeded in each design. - Research
- Our capacity of sharing memories differentiate us humans amongst other species. Within only one year we took 1,5 trillion photographs.
We decided though that we wanted to share memories through the original story teller, the human voice.
We started by developing an algorithm that converted soundwaves into 3d printed jewlery.
The platform gives the freedom to the user to add their personal touch while at the same time a personal audio message can be embeded inside.
The collection has been designed to serve as an ellegant template ready to be sculpted by the sound of your voice. - Inspiration
- Our wish to express feelings to someone which words just could not do justice to has created otowav. Deriving from the Japanese word for soundwave, oto, otowav represents the place where feelings, a voice and words meet in three dimensions.
Every time we speak, our voices produce waves called soundforms. They are the way nature is making our voice visible.
Otowav translates your feelings into three dimensions, creating a unique design based on the sound of your voice. - Project Duration
- The project started in February 2018 in Athens Greece and finished in March 2021.
