Interaction Theory and Interfacing Techniques for Real-time Performance

چکیده
This paper takes two approaches to describe aspects of physical interfaces in the electronic arts. One approach takes a Human Factors point of view at the different interactions that can take place in electronic art, and the other more practical approach describes sensor technologies (and a sensor categorisation) to make the physical interaction possible. In this introduction the historical development of the ergonomic aspects of the design of instruments are described. Because the earliest examples of the usage of electronic media to make art can be found in music, and because music has a long tradition of performance and of a precise and intimate relationship between human and technology, this paper often takes electronic musical instruments as a starting point. From there, the paper aims to describe the general field of art forms using electronics (visual arts, installations, architecture, network, music). Humans have always been making music by using objects and artefacts. Every known way of generating sound, using strings, bells, reeds etc. has been used to make musical instruments. In all stages of engineering (manual / mechanical / electromechanical / electronic / digital) the technology was reflected in the instruments. The nature of the sound generating process traditionally dictated the design of the instrument. Take for instance bowing a string. On a violin the strings are short and therefore fit on an instrument that is held under the player's chin. Longer strings to reach lower registers called for a bigger instrument, for instance the cello that rests with a pin on the ground and is held between the player's knees. Even longer and thicker strings for bass notes demands such a big instrument that the player has to stand next to it and embrace it. In instruments that use electricity in any form this relationship is often less clear.

Configuration, Interfacing and Networking of Wireless IP-Based Camera for Real-Time Security Surveillance Systems Design
This paper presents three techniques for configuring, interfacing, and networking of a wireless IP-based camera for real-time security surveillance systems design. The three different real-time implementation techniques proposed for configuring, interfacing, and networking the IP camera are: 1). accessing the IP camera using the Wanscam vendor software, 2). accessing the IP camera via Firefox® ...
متن کاملThe Assessment of Applying Chaos Theory for Daily Traffic Estimation
Road traffic volumes in intercity roads are generally estimated by probability functions, statistical techniques or meta-heuristic approaches such as artificial neural networks. As the road traffic volumes depend on input variables and mainly road geometrical design, weather conditions, day or night time, weekend or national holidays and so on, these are also estimated by pattern recognition te...
متن کاملFeuerstein's Theory of Mediation and Its Impact on EFL Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy
Earlier self efficacy studies have been blamed for their methodological weakness and their mere reliance on self-report, survey, and correlational techniques for data collection. The purpose of this study; therefore, was to assess the impact of Feuerstein’s theory of mediation on EFL teachers’ sense of efficacy through direct observation rather than self reports and to use experimental techniqu...
متن کاملFuzzy Real-Time Optimization of the Tennessee Eastman Challenge Process
A Real-Time Optimization (RTO) strategy incorporating the fuzzy sets theory is developed, where the problem constraints obtained from process considerations are treated in fuzzy environment. Furthermore, the objective function is penalized by a fuzzified form of the key process constraints. To enable using conventional optimization techniques, the resulting fuzzy optimization problem is the...
متن کاملA Non-Preemptive Two-Class M/M/1 System with Prioritized Real-Time Jobs under Earliest-Deadline-First Policy
This paper introduces an analytical method for approximating the performance of a two-class priority M/M/1 system. The system is fully non-preemptive. More specifically, the prioritized class-1 jobs are real-time and served with the non-preemptive earliest-deadline-first (EDF) policy, but despite their priority cannot preempt any non real-time class-2 job. The waiting class-2 jobs can only be s...
