Towards Gestural Sonic Affordances
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a study that explores the affordance evoked by sound and sound-gesture mappings. In order to do this, we make use of a sensor system with minimal form factor in a user study that minimizes cultural association. The present study focuses on understanding how participants describe sounds and gestures produced while playing designed sonic interaction mappings. This approach seeks to move from object-centric affordance towards investigating embodied gestural sonic affordances.

Gestural Musical Affordances
This paper is a comparative study of gestural interaction with musical sound, designed to gain insight into the notion of musical affordance on interactive music systems. We conducted an interview base user study trialing three accelerometer based devices, an iPhone, a Wii-mote, and an Axivity Wax prototype, with four kinds of musical sound, including percussion, stringed instruments, and voice...
متن کاملSonic Gestures as Input in Human-computer Interaction: towards a Systematic Approach
While the majority of studies in sonic interaction design (SID) focuses on sound as the output modality of an interactive system, the broad scope of SID includes also the use of sound as an input modality. Sonic gestures can be defined as sound-producing actions generated by a human in order to convey information. Their use as input in computational systems has been studied in several isolated ...
متن کاملEmbodied listening, affordances and Performing with Computers
I consider here some contemporary approaches to the live performance of computer music. Drawing upon ideas of the embodied mind and the extended mind, I will outline a theory of embodied listening which problematises some of our assumptions about music, gesture and performance. Against the background of this theory, I will argue against approaches which put too great a focus upon gestural legib...
متن کاملA Material Computation Perspective on Audio Mosaicing and Gestural Conditioning
This paper discusses an approach to instrument conception that is based on a careful consideration of the coupling of tactile and sonic gestural action across the layers of physical and computational material in coordinated dynamical variation. To this end we propose a design approach that not only considers the materiality of the instrument, but leverages it as a central part of the conception...
متن کاملSome Experiments in the Gestural Control of Synthesized Sonic Textures
In this paper, we introduce some exploratory ideas and applications involving the gestural control of sonic textures. Three examples of how the gestural control of synthesized textures can be implemented are presented: scratching textures, based on the gesturalized exploration of a visual space; dynamic noise filtering, where gestures influence a virtual slowly moving string used to filter a no...
