How bright can you cry? How loud does the sun shine? We developed a multisensory and multimodal tool, the Loaded Dice, for use in co-design workshops to research the design space of IoT usage scenarios. The Loaded Dice incorporate the principle of a technical synesthesia, being able to map any of the included sensors to any of the included actuators. With just a turn of one of the cubical devices it is possible to create a new combination. We discuss the core principles of the Loaded Dice, what sensors and actuators are included, how they relate to human senses, and how we realized a meaningful mapping between sensors and actuators. We further discuss where we see additional potential in the Loaded Dice to support synesthetic exploration - as Synesthetic Dice - so that you can eventually find out who cries brighter.

翻译：你能哭得多亮？太阳有多响？我们开发了一种多感官、多模态工具——“负载骰子”，用于协同设计工作坊中研究物联网使用场景的设计空间。负载骰子融入了技术性联觉原理，能够将任意内置传感器映射到任意内置执行器。仅需转动其中一个立方体设备，即可创建新的组合。我们讨论了负载骰子的核心原理、所包含的传感器与执行器及其与人类感官的关联，以及如何实现传感器与执行器之间有意义的映射。我们进一步探讨了负载骰子在支持联觉探索方面的额外潜力——作为联觉骰子——以便你最终能发现谁哭得更亮。
