MEDIATE: Key Sonic Developments in an Interactive Installation for Children with Autism
Hans A. Timmermans, G. van Wolferen, Paul Newland, Simon Kunath · International Computer Music Conference · 2004
Our paper initially gives a brief overview of MEDIATE, a multi-sensory, interactive environment created with the aim to encourage expressive engagement from children with autism. We then detail the particular innovations required to support such a context when incorporating sonic and tactile interfaces which through a ‘signature analyzer’ gain the ability to both detect and respond to user behaviours within this environment.
