UDKOSC: An immersive musical environment
Robert L. Hamilton · University of Michigan Library Repository · 2011
UDKOSC is a visually and aurally immersive rendered multi-user musical performance environment built in the Unreal Development Kit (UDK), a freely-available commercial gaming engine.Control data generated by avatar motion, gesture and location is routed through a bi-directional Open Sound Control implementation and used to drive virtual instruments within a multi-channel ambisonic sound-server.This paper describes the technical infrastructure of UDKOSC and details design and musical decisions made during the composition and creation of Tele-harmonium, an interactive mixedreality musical work created in the environment.
