Interacting with the 3D Reactive Widgets for Musical Performance
نویسنده
چکیده
While virtual reality and 3D interaction provide new possibilities for musical applications, the existing immersive virtual instruments are limited to single process instruments or musical navigation tools. In this paper we present the 3D reactive widgets. These graphical elements enable simultaneous control and visualization of musical processes in 3D immersive environments. They also rely on the live-looping technique, allowing to build complex musical sequences. We describe the interaction techniques that we have designed and implemented to manipulate these widgets, including a virtual ray and tunnels. After having expressed the lack of expressivity and efficiency of the existing input devices for sound production gestures, we finally set the requirements for an appropriate device for musical interaction in 3D immersive environments.

Interacting with 3D Reactive Widgets for Musical Performance
While virtual reality and 3D interaction open new prospects for musical performance, existing immersive virtual instruments are often limited to single process instruments or musical navigation tools. We believe that immersive virtual environments may be used to design expressive and efficient multi-process instruments. In this paper we present the 3D reactive widgets. These graphical elements ...
متن کاملConstruction, manipulation et visualisation de processus sonores dans des environnements virtuels immersifs pour la performance musicale
The work presented in this thesis belongs to the computer music field as well as to the virtual reality field. First, we describe the advantages of immersive virtual environments and of 3D graphical interaction for multiprocess instruments and particularly for the hierarchical live-looping, a new instrument model that we define. We then suggest solutions to visualize and manipulate sound proces...

متن کاملArgos: An Open Source Application For Building Multi- Touch Musical Interfaces
Argos is a multi-touch graphical user interface builder aimed at applications in musical performance and sound synthesis. The interface builder lets users construct interfaces through a library of existing widgets (e.g. knobs, sliders, buttons), while providing access to an extensible, open-source toolkit for developing new widgets. Argos was designed with platform-independence in mind, enablin...
