Buildasound is a sound building blocks game. It consists in creating shapes at the same time that you generate new sounds: there is no single objective (winning or losing), but instead the entertainment involved in playing for playings sake, and the opportunity to discover new melodies and constructions and constant creation based on the different positions of the cubes. The game uses 25 foam blocks. Three of their sides show different colors – red, violet & green – and belong to different games. The opposite side of each side of the game, which is white, has the image recognition code that will be read by the camera and sent to the computer. Once the computer recives it, it sends a signal to the software that will translate it and will send the correct sound to the speakers.
