Evolution und Evaluation Theremin-Basierter Interfaces

Das Theremin (und seine Varianten) ist bekannt als das erste Instrument, das berührungslos gespielt wird. Im Rahmen unseres Projekts haben wir verschiedene 3D-Schnittstellen für ein virtuelles Theremin, das VRemin, konzipiert, prototypisch umgesetzt und erste Evaluierungen durchgeführt. Die Varianten unterscheiden sich in der Größe des Interaktionsraums und der Komplexität der entwickelten einu...
