SonicTexting is a way of writing text - "texting" - using touch and sound. It explores people's hand-ear coordination and their ability to use sound as information. Like with musical instruments and everyday mechanical objects, sound in SonicTexting is synchronous and responsive to actions. SonicTexting proposes that through touch and sound, interacting with digital devices can become an experience on the borders between a functional task, an instrument and a game.
