Designing For Conversational Interaction
Andrew Johnston, Linda Candy, Ernest Alan Edmonds · UTS ePRESS (University of Technology Sydney) · 2009
In this paper we describe an interaction framework whichclassifies musicians' interactions with virtual musical instruments into three modes: instrumental, ornamental andconversational. We argue that conversational interactionsare the most difficult to design for, but also the most interesting. To illustrate our approach to designing for conversational interactions we describe the performance workPartial Reflections 3 for two clarinets and interactive software. This software uses simulated physical models to create a virtual sound sculpture which both responds to andproduces sounds and visuals.
