Visualization of Bowing Gestures for Feedback : The Hodgson Plot
Marcelo M. Wanderley, Erwin Schoonderwaldt · International Conference on Automated Production of Cross Media Content for Multi-Channel Distribution · 2007
A set of displays is proposed for the visualization of bowing gestures measured using motion capture techniques. The main displays (Hodgson plots) show the spatial trajectory followed by the bow frog in time in two different projections. The bridge and the strings of the instrument are shown in the background, forming a functional context for the displayed bowing gestures. The main purpose of the visualizations is to provide informative feedback to players regarding their use of the bow, making them suitable for pedagogical use.
