Biosensorfusion: New Interfaces for Interactive Multimedia Art
Yoichi Nagashima · University of Michigan Library Repository · 1998
This paper is intended as an investigation of some new interfaces for computer music and interactive multimedia art. We have been producing many sensors, interfaces and interactive systems for computer music, composing many works and presenting some performances as applications of our research. Now in this study the main stress falls on soft connections with performers, not using mechanical sensors, switches and tight contacts with body. We will report and demonstrate bio-sensors, optical sensor and electrostatic sensor. We do not only use these sensors alone but also use sensor-fusion technique to detect the information of performers, and it is important to construct good human touch relations. We will discuss about the problems and techniques of this approach.
