PlaySoundGround: An Interactive Musical Playground
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a novel transformation of a playground merry-go-round, teeter-totter (also referred to as a seesaw), swings, and climbing structure – from its traditional purpose to a collaborative and interactive musical performance system by equipping key structures with sensors that communicate with a computer. A set of Max/ MSP patches translate the physical gestures of playground play into a variety of performer-selected musical mappings. In addition to the electro-acoustic interactivity, the climbing structure incorporates acoustic musical instruments.

Design of an Interactive Playground Based on Traditional Children's Play
This paper presents a novel method for interactive playground design, based on traditional children’s play. This method combines the rich interaction possibilities of computer games with the physical and open-ended aspects of traditional children’s games. The method is explored by the development of a prototype interactive playground, which has been implemented and evaluated over two iterations.
متن کاملInteraction and Self-organisation in a Society of Musical Agents
This paper outlines a distributed architecture defining a virtual world where musical agents interact according to the expression of mutual affinities. Agents continuously exchange information in their respective neighbourhoods while self-organization takes place. The society functions on a scale between total autonomy and a platform that accommodates compelling man-machine interactions, provid...
متن کاملPLAYGROUND– System Demo of Goal Recognition Design
We describe PLAYGROUND, an interactive game developed for demonstrating the concepts of goal recognition design (grd). grd is a recently formulated task that involves the off-line analysis of goal recognition models. As such grd involves formulating measures that assess the ability to perform goal recognition within a model and finding efficient ways to compute and optimize them. PLAYGROUND is ...
متن کامل‘Spheres of Influence’ - An Interactive Musical Work
In this paper we describe the development of an interactive artwork which incorporates both a musical composition and software which provides a visual and aural accompaniment. The system uses physical modeling to implement a type of virtual ‘sonic sculpture’ which responds to musical input in a way which appears naturalistic. This work forms part of a larger project to use art to explore the po...
متن کاملAn A-Life Approach to Machine Learning of Musical Worldviews for Improvisation Systems
In this paper we introduce iMe (Interactive Musical Environments), an interactive intelligent music system based on distributed software agents that is capable of learning to generate music autonomously and in realtime. iMe belongs to a new paradigm of interactive musical systems that we call “ontomemetical musical systems” for which we propose a series of prerequisites.
