Requirements on Kinaesthetic Interfaces for Spatially Interactive Sonic Art
Dominik Schlienger · 2016
This paper documents the requirements on tracking technology for spatially interactive sonic arts. We do this by comparing our theorised notion of an ideal kinaesthetic interface to, firstly, the current results of an ongoing online survey and, secondly, the results of our ongoing Workshop on Music, Space & Interaction (MS&I). In MS&I we research the affordances of existing and hypothetical technology to enhance and facilitate spatial interactivity. We give both qualitative and quantitative recommendations for design. While underlining the specific requirements for sonic art in respect to its aural nature, we discuss how and why the requirements elicited from our research can be applied to spatial interactivity in general.
