CaMus: live music performance using camera phones and visual grid tracking
Michael Rohs, Georg Essl, Martin Roth · 2006
Proceedings of the 2006 International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME06), Paris, France We demonstrate that mobile phones can be used as an actively oriented handheld musical performance device. To achieve this we use a visual tracking system of a camera phone. Motion in the plane, relative to movable targets, rotation and distance to the plane can be used to drive MIDI enabled sound generation software or hardware. Mobile camera phones are widely available technology and we hope to find ways to make them into viable and widely used performance devices. 1.
