Sonification for skateboard #151

Open samreid opened 8 years ago

samreid commented 8 years ago

We have discussed adding a "click/clack" sound for the skateboard, so that the frequency of clicks/clacks is proportional to the speed of the skateboard. @ariel-phet do you want to do this for the next publication of Forces and Motion Basics?

Main questions:

  1. Does the sound need to visually synchronize with the look of the "cracks" in the sidewalk?
  2. How much should it sound like a real skateboard?
  3. Does the sound change as a function of friction (on ice, etc.) or as a function of what is on the skateboard?

@samreid - no, we should not include this on the next redepoly.

I think we only want to include such sonifiied representations in published sims after they have been researched and vetted.

Deferring this for when the design of the sim has more dedicated time.
