JOURNEY MATE is a modular smart backpack that enriches the travel audio-visual experience. It collects voices during the journey and transforms them into an Urban Sound Library and World Footprint Library, providing the pleasure and memory experience of visual and auditory interaction. The innovations of JOURNEY MATE are: 1. The smart module offers travelers to collect sound samples of local languages via communicating with local individuals, triggering the pleasantness of multi-sensory interaction. 2. All sounds are visualized as waveform diagrams and collected in the Urban Sound Library and World Footprint Library, to achieve a sense of satisfaction. 3. There are two modules in this backpack. You can combine two in one for long-distance travel, or bring any module for daily life.
