Using a Pursuit Tracking Task to Compare Continuous Control of Various NIME Sensors
Michael Blandino, Edgar J. Berdahl · 2021
This study investigates how accurately users can continuously control a variety of one degree of freedom sensors commonly used in electronic music interfaces. Analysis within an information-theoretic model yields channel capacities of maximum information throughput in bits/sec that can support a unified comparison. The results may inform the design of digital musical instruments and the design of systems with similarly demanding control tasks.
