  • An Augmented Reality Drum Kit
    ISSN (Online) 2278-1021 ISSN (Print) 2319 5940 International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer and Communication Engineering Vol. 4, Issue 10, October 2015 V-Drum: An Augmented Reality Drum Kit Nestor Lobo1 Scholar, Electronics Department, Vivekanand Education Society‟s Institute of Technology, Mumbai, India1 Abstract: Most modern drum kits are large in size and difficult to transport. Similarly, the cost of a fully stocked drum kit is far in excess of what an average enthusiast can afford. The maintenance of such equipment can be expensive and keeping the instruments properly tuned involves a considerable amount of time. All this can discourage many from seriously learning to play percussion instruments. Musicians draw inspiration from the world around them and in many cases are unable to construct a new piece due to the lack of readily available instruments. The V-Drum is a low-cost, portable drum kit whose implementation is based in Augmented Reality. With the V-Drum, any person with interest can learn to play percussion instruments and even construct music with the variety of virtual instruments at their disposal. Keywords: Human Computer Interaction, Image Processing, Musical Instrument, Augmented Reality, Pattern Recognition, Computer Vision. I. INTRODUCTION A. V-Drum Given the absence of the need to physically move A drummer, as a musician, is an integral part of any band. instruments about, the V-Drum can be used in any It is the drummer who provides the band with the beat and environment without any worry about the sound quality of timing which is vital in the creation and performance of the instruments being affected by environmental factors.
