Kouki Hayafuchi, Kenji Suzuki · 2008
This research aim st o develop aw earablemusical interface which enables to control audio and video signals by using hand gestures and human body motions. We have been developing an audio-visual manipulation system that realizes tracks control, time-based operations and searching for tracks fro mm assive music library. It aim st o build an emotional and a! ecting musical interaction, and will provide ab ettermethod of music listening to people. A sophisticated glove-like device with an acceleration sensor and several strain sensors has been developed. A realtim es ignal processing and musical control are executed as a result of gesture recognition. We also developed a stand-alone device that perform sa s amusical controller and player at the sam et ime. In this paper, we describe the development of a compact and sophisticated sensor device, and demonstrate its performance of audio and video signals control.
