SurfaceMusic: Mapping Virtual Touch-based Instruments to Physical Models
Lawrence Fyfe, Sean Lynch, Carmen Hull, Sheelagh Carpendale · 2010
In this paper we discuss SurfaceMusic, a tabletop music system in which touch gestures are mapped to physical modelsof instruments. With physical models, parametric controlover the sound allows for a more natural interaction between gesture and sound. We discuss the design and implementation of a simple gestural interface for interactingwith virtual instruments and a messaging system that conveys gesture data to the audio system.
