Air Violin: A Body-centric Style Musical Instrument
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show how body-centric sensing can be integrated in musical interface to enable more flexible gestural control. We present a barehanded body-centric interaction paradigm where users are able to interact in a spontaneous way through performing gestures. The paradigm employs a wearable camera and see-through display to enable flexible interaction in the 3D space. We designed and implemented a prototype called Air Violin, a virtual musical instrument using depth camera, to demonstrate the proposed interaction paradigm. We described the design and implementation details.

Biomuse Trio
Biomuse Trio is a composition for biomuse, violin and laptop. The strengths of each instrument are fused into a chamber music composition that emphasizes precise, coordinated musical interaction. There is a particular interest to explore the human body as musical instrument, and thus the various prosthetics of the Biomuse are hidden in performance.
متن کاملFinger Position and Pressure Sensing Techniques for String and Keyboard Instruments
Several new technologies to capture motion, gesture and forces for musical instrument players’ analyses have been developed in the last years. In research and for augmented instruments one parameter is underrepresented so far. It is finger position and pressure measurement, applied by the musician while playing the musical instrument. In this paper we show a flexible linear-potentiometer and fo...
متن کاملThe Overtone Violin: a New Computer Music Instrument
This paper describes the concept, design, realization and evaluation of a radically augmented musical instrument named the Overtone Violin. The rationale behind the development of the instrument is to preserve the expressive elements of the expert violinist, while incorporating the added benefits of gestural controllers via embedded sensors. There have been many examples of idiosyncratic altern...

متن کاملThe Vbow: Two Versions of a Virtual Violin Bow Controller
The vBow is a haptic musical controller human-computer interface, which simulates the forcefeedback of a bow on a violin string, while driving a bowed-string physical model. It is both a musical instrument for expressing the musical gestures of a performer, and a tool for testing friction and vibration models, and the responsiveness of physical model sound synthesis.
