Wearable Interfaces for Cyberphysical Musical Expression

چکیده
We present examples of a wireless sensor network as applied to wearable digital music controllers. Recent advances in wireless Personal Area Networks (PANs) have precipitated the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for low-power, low-cost wireless sensor networks. We have applied this new technology to create a fully wireless, wearable network of accelerometers which are small enough to be hidden under clothing. Various motion analysis and machine learning techniques are applied to the raw accelerometer data in real-time to generate and control music on the fly.

Prototyping hand-based wearable music education technology
This paper discusses perspectives for conceptualizing and developing hand-based wearable musical interfaces. Previous implementations of such interfaces have not been targeted for music pedagogical use. We propose principles for pedagogically oriented ‘musical hand’ and outline its development through the process of prototyping, which involves a variety of methods. The current functional protot...
متن کاملOn interface expressivity: A player based study
While many new interfaces for musical expression have been presented in the past, methods to evaluate these interfaces are rare. This paper presents a method and a study comparing the potential for musical expression of different string-instrument based musical interfaces. Cues for musical expression are defined based on results of research in musical expression and on methods for musical educa...
متن کاملNetworked Wearable Musical Instruments Will Bring A New Musical Culture
Many people enjoy music daily, but in a very passive way. To more actively enjoy music, some novel musical instruments are necessary. As a candidate for a novel musical instrument, we propose a networked wearable musical instrument. This paper describes the design of the networked musical instrument as well as a prototype system. Furthermore, we demonstrate several possible novel applications o...
متن کاملeMersion | Sensor-controlled Electronic Music Modules & Digital Data Workstation
In our current era, where smartphones are commonplace and buzzwords like “the internet of things,” “wearable tech,” and “augmented reality” are ubiquitous, translating performance gestures into data and intuitively mapping it to control musical/visual parameters in the realm of computing should be trivial; but it isn’t. Technical barriers still persist that limit this activity to exclusive grou...
متن کاملThe 'E' in NIME: Musical Expression with New Computer Interfaces
Is there a distinction between New Interfaces for Musical Expression and New Interfaces for Controlling Sound? This article begins with a brief overview of expression in musical performance, and examines some of the characteristics of effective “expressive” computer music instruments. It becomes apparent that sophisticated musical expression requires not only a good control interface but also v...
