Playing on Heart-Strings: Experiences with the 2Hearts system
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we present 2Hearts, a music system controlled by the heartbeats of two people. As the players speak and touch, 2Hearts extracts meaningful variables from their heartbeat signals. These variables are mapped to musical parameters, conveying the changing patterns of tension and relaxation in the players’ relationship. We describe the motivation for creating 2Hearts, observations from the prototypes that have been built, and principles learnt in the ongoing development process.

Parental Mediation of Children’s Video Game Experiences: Iranian Parents’ Strategies of Mediation
Despite tremendous popularity of video games, there have been concerns about their detrimental effects on children. The game rating systems were developed to assist parents in monitoring their children’s gaming experiences. This paper explores how parents in Iran, as a society without established media rating systems, control their children’s gaming experiences. Mixed methods of semi-structured...
متن کاملNonlinear vibration analysis of axially moving strings in thermal environment
In this study, nonlinear vibration of axially moving strings in thermal environment is investigated. The vibration haracteristics of the system such as natural frequencies, time domain response and stability states are studied at different temperatures. The velocity of the axial movement is assumed to be constant with minor harmonic variations. It is presumed that the system and the environment...

متن کاملA Player Model for Midi Control of Synthetic Bowed Strings
As the underlying physical processes of bowed string instruments have been investigated extensively and are understood well, it becomes clear that the instrument model on its own is not sufficient for realistic synthesis of bowed strings. Controlling the parameters for the excitation of the string model is comparable to playing the real instrument, and the design of algorithms controlling the a...
متن کاملPhysical interactions with digital strings - a hybrid approach to a digital keyboard instrument
A new hybrid approach to digital keyboard playing is presented, where the actual acoustic sounds from a digital keyboard are captured with contact microphones and applied as excitation signals to a digital model of a prepared piano, i.e., an extended wave-guide model of strings with the possibility of stopping and muting the strings at arbitrary positions. The parameters of the string model are...
