Abstract:

A model of correlation of arithmetical ratios in models of space, models of sound and models of light is presented. A computational environment is designed to allow an interactive movement of a virtual agent within the rooms of a given arrangement of spaces using either the body movement or the eye movement of the agent as the basic trigger of sounds and colors.
