What if a music video only plays when you're watching — and stops when you leave? For my I/O project, I prototyped a gallery installation where light and sound respond to your movement, encouraging you to stay engaged in a spatial narrative.

These exercises helped me understand how sensors can control sound and light. My prototype—a motion-triggered sound maze—is an early step toward a larger idea: an interactive music video experienced through movement in space.
