Nobuchika Sakata, Takeshi Kurata, Masakatsu Kourogi, Hideaki Kuzuoka · 2006
We define Situated Music as a framework that selects and plays a tune according to a situation. The selected and played tune itself is also referred to as Situated Music. In this paper, we describe Interactive Jogging, that is an application of Situated Music for jogging. Measuring pitch acceleration with an accelerometer attached on a headphone, we estimate a mileage of the jogging. And then we provide certain music, which has certain tempo based on the measured pitch and mileage, to the jogger. Due to this, Interactive Jogging may keep the jogger a runner motivated and augment an amusement aspect of jogging.
