Motion controlled by sound

Visual motion disambiguation by a subliminal sound.

There is growing interest in the effect of sound on visual motion perception. One model involves the illusion created when two identical objects moving towards each other on a two-dimensional visual display can be seen to either bounce off or stream through each other. Previous studies show that the large bias normally seen toward the streaming percept can be modulated by the presentation of an...

Work for saxophonist, 3D animation and real-time sound processing controlled by motion capture data

We address issues raised in designing a new work for saxophonist and digital media involving 3D motion capture technology. A saxophonist’s kinaesthetics are recorded with a 3D motion capture system, and used as control data in the real-time processing of sound and 3D visuals. We address current gesture research and propose an extension to current gesture taxonomies. Linguistics have been taken ...

Sound alters tactile motion perception

Recently Sekuler et al. (Nature, 1997) investigated the motion-bounce illusion and found that sound can influence ambiguous visual motion perception. Here we investigated the motion-bounce illusion in the tactile-auditory domain. Using a vibro-tactile belt consisting of 7 vibrators we generated tactile apparent motion stimuli by sequentially activating neighboring motors with an onset of 200ms ...
