Digitally Augmented Everyday Objects in Music Composition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses three instances of compositions, in which physical and cyber everyday objects interact. The physical objects such as plastic corrugated tubes, plastic superballs, glass marbles, cocktail shakers, electric blenders, and others provide unique musical data for the performance and input data for their physically modeled counterparts. Besides the compositional strategies, the article focuses on the software and hardware issues connected with tracking, parametrical mapping, interfacing, and physical modeling of everyday

Sonically Augmented Found Objects
We present our work with augmented everyday objects transformed into sound sources for music generation. The idea is to give voice to objects through technology. More specifically, the paradigm of the birth of musical instruments as a sonification of objects used in domestic or work everyday environments is here considered and transposed into the technologically augmented scenarios of our conte...
متن کاملAdaptive Rooms, Virtual Collaboration and Cognitive Workflow
This paper introduces the concept of Adaptive Rooms, which are virtual environments able to dynamically adapt to users’ needs, including ‘physical’ and cognitive workflow requirements, number of users, differing cognitive abilities and skills. Adaptive rooms are collections of virtual objects, many of them self-transforming objects, housed in an architecturally active room with information spac...
متن کاملFacilitating the Integration and Interaction of Real-World Services for the Web of Things
The “Web of Things” (WoT) is a vision of a World Wide Web that reaches into the physical world by providing a seamless integration of digitally augmented everyday objects. In this paper, we present the AutoWoT project, a toolkit that facilitates the rapid integration of smart devices into the Web. It thereby lowers the entry barrier for users to expose data and services provided by their smart ...
متن کاملSonically Augmented Artifacts: Design Methodology Through Participatory Workshops
Participatory workshops have been organized within the framework of the ANR project Legos that concerns gesture-sound interactive systems. These workshops addressed both theoretical issues and experimentation with prototypes. The first goal was to stimulate new ideas related to the control of everyday objects using sound feedback, and then, to create and experiment with new sonic augmented obje...
متن کاملDigital Decor: Augmented Everyday Things
Digital Decor is furniture, appliances, and other small objects commonly found in homes and offices that have been augmented with computational power to extend usefulness. As such, Digital Decor is a physical manifestation of the ubiquitous, pervasive, and invisible computer in which the familiar, everyday object is imbued with additional capabilities through a single, simple application. Thus ...
