Canny, Chair With an estimated 4.6 billion units in use, mobile phones have already become the most popular computing device in human history. Their portability and communication capabil- ities may revolutionize how people do their daily work and interact with other people in ways PCs have done during the past 30 years. Despite decades of experiences in creating modern WIMP (windows, icons, mouse, pointer) interfaces, our knowledge in building ef- fective mobile interfaces is still limited, especially for emerging interaction modalities that are only available on mobile devices. This dissertation explores how emerging sensors on a mobile phone, such as the built-in camera, the microphone, the touch sensor and the GPS module can be leveraged to make everyday interactions easier and more efficient.

  • Touchpoint: Dynamically Re-Routable Effects Processing As a Multi-Touch Tablet Instrument
    Proceedings ICMC|SMC|2014 14-20 September 2014, Athens, Greece Touchpoint: Dynamically Re-Routable Effects Processing as a Multi-Touch Tablet Instrument Nicholas K. Suda Owen S.

Valencia, California 91355 Valencia, California 91355 United States United States [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Touchpoint is a multi-touch tablet instrument which pre- sents the chaining-together of non-linear effects processors as its core music synthesis technique. In doing so, it uti- lizes the on-the-fly re-combination of effects processors as the central mechanic of performance. Effects Processing as Synthesis is justified by the fact that that the order in which non-linear systems are arranged re- sults in a diverse range of different output signals.

  • Resonant Spaces Notes
    Andrew McPherson Resonant Spaces for cello and live electronics Performance Notes Overview This piece involves three components: the cello, live electronic processing, and "sequenced" sounds which are predetermined but which render in real time to stay synchronized to the per- former. Each component is notated on a separate staff (or pair of staves) in the score. The cellist needs a bridge contact pickup on his or her instrument. It can be either integrated into the bridge or adhesively attached. A microphone will not work as a substitute, because the live sound plays back over speakers very near to the cello and feedback will inevitably result. The live sound simulates the sound of a resonating string (and, near the end of the piece, ringing bells). This virtual string is driven using audio from the cello. Depending on the fundamental frequency of the string and the note played by the cello, different pitches are produced and played back by speakers placed near the cellist. The sequenced sounds are predetermined, but are synchronized to the cellist by means of a series of cue points in the score. At each cue point, the computer pauses and waits for the press of a footswitch to advance. In some cases, several measures go by without any cue points, and it is up to the cellist to stay synchronized to the sequenced sound. An in-ear monitor with a click track is available in these instances to aid in synchronization. The electronics are designed to be controlled in real-time by the cellist, so no other technician is required in performance.
