The Sound Map
A Visual Sound Experience
By Charlene Lu



The sound map is an innovative design by Charlene Lu which allows visually impaired users to preserve sounds from trips around the world using beautifully designed metal plates. 

Each plate includes braille of simple important details, including the name of the city and each tourist attraction, which is placed on puzzle like shapes to form buttons that can be used to record and replay sounds from the specific places that the user goes to.


Audio Description








Created in sleek beautiful metallic colourways, the sound map is a positive step in the right direction to allow the visually impaired to create, share and recall beautiful memories with loved ones and themselves of different cities around the world.
