چکیده
This paper presents a method for the acquisition of violin instrumental gesture parameters by using a commercial two-sensor 3D tracking system based on electro-magnetic field (EMF) sensing. The methodolgy described here is suitable for acquiring instrumental gesture parameters of any bowed-string instrument, and has been devised by paying attention to intrusion, flexibility, and robustness. After reviewing relevant related work in the field, we give an overview of the application context, pointing out some basic needs to be fulfilled for our research purposes. Then, we present the steps for calibrating the system, followed by details on the computation of a number of relevant instrumental gesture parameters. The use of a number of the extracted parameters to perform score-performance alignment and database automatic annotation is also outlined. Finally, we conclude stating next steps in using acquired data, along with further developments of the methodology.

Modeling Moods in Violin Performances
In this paper we present a method to model and compare expressivity for different Moods in violin performances. Models are based on analysis of audio and bowing control gestures of real performances and they predict expressive scores from non expressive ones. Audio and control data is captured by means of a violin pickup and a 3D motion tracking system and aligned with the performed score. We m...
متن کاملInstrumental Movements of Neophytes Analysis of Movement Periodicities, Commonalities and Individualities in Mimed Violin Performance
Body movement and embodied knowledge play an important part in how we express and understand music. The gestures of a musician playing an instrument are part of a shared knowledge that contributes to musical expressivity by building expectations and influencing perception. In this study, we investigate the extent in which the movement vocabulary of violin performance is part of the embodied kno...

With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...
متن کاملBeating time: How ensemble musicians’ cueing gestures communicate beat position and tempo
Ensemble musicians typically exchange visual cues to coordinate piece entrances. "Cueing-in" gestures indicate when to begin playing and at what tempo. This study investigated how timing information is encoded in musicians' cueing-in gestures. Gesture acceleration patterns were expected to indicate beat position, while gesture periodicity, duration, and peak gesture velocity were expected to in...
