Generate expressive music from picture with a handmade multi-touch music table

چکیده
The multi-touch music table is a novel tabletop tangible interface for expressive musical performance. User touches the picture projected on the table glass surface to perform music. User can click, drag or use various multi-touch gestures with fingers to perform music expressively. The picture color, luminosity, size, finger gesture and pressure determine the music output. The table detects up to 10 finger touches with their touch pressure. We use a glass, a wood stand, a mini projector, a web camera and a computer to construct this music table. Hence this table is highly customizable. The table generates music via a re-interpretation of the artistic components of pictures. It is a cross modal inspiration of music from visual art on a tangible interface.

متن کاملEvaluation of a Music Intervention on Well-being and Behavior of People with Dementia Using Dementia Care Mapping
Introduction: Dementia Care Mapping (DCM) was originally developed as an observation tool to examine person-centered care in long-term care facilities and to evaluate the quality of life and well-being of people with dementia (PwD). However, the effects of a music intervention using this tool have not been investigated so far. This leads to the following research question: How does a music inte...
متن کاملTouchSound: An approach to multi-user music performance on touch tables
This paper presents a novel approach to music performance on touch tables. The chosen approach aims at improving the existing FeelSound system in such a way that pleasant music (as opposed to abstract sounds) can be produced. A small qualitative evaluation has shown that TouchSound delivers improved performance over FeelSound. Users are able to produce music, even when lacking previous musical ...
متن کاملArtificial Evolution of Expressive Performance of Music: An Imitative Multi-Agent Systems Approach
As early as the 1950s and early 1960s, pioneers such as Lejaren Hiller, Gottfried Michael Koenig, Iannis Xenakis, and Pietro Grossi, among a few others, started to gain access to computers to make music. It soon became clear that to render music with a socalled “human feel,” computers needed to process information about performance (e.g., deviations in tempo and loudness), in addition to the sy...
متن کاملMulti-Input Sensing Table: A Sensor Fusion for Drumming
Optical sensors are the most common method for sensing touch input on multi-touch tables. This project’s approach was to build a large multi-input sensing table with multiple sensors to collect optical, pressure, and acoustic data. The data was aggregated and processed to create a computer music application using the table’s sensors. This application demonstrates the utility of accurate tempora...
