A hand clap interface for sonic interaction with the computer
Antti Jylhä, Cumhur Erkut · 2009
We present a hand clapping interface for sonic interaction with the computer. The current implementation has been built on the Pure Data (PD) software. The interface makes use of the cyclic nature of hand clapping and recognition of the clap type, and enables interactive control over different applications. Three prototype applications for the interface are presented: a virtual crowd of clappers, controlling the tempo of music, and a simple sampler. Preliminary tests indicate that rather than having total control via the interface, the user negotiates with the computer to control the tempo.
