SMuSIM : a Prototype of Multichannel Spatialization System with Multimodal Interaction Interface

Matteo Bozzolan, and Giovanni Cospito

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract:

The continuous evolutions in the human-computer interfaces field have allowed the development of control devicesthat let have a more and more intuitive, gestural and noninvasive interaction.Such devices find a natural employment also in the musicapplied informatics and in particular in the electronic music,always searching for new expressive means.This paper presents a prototype of a system for the realtime control of sound spatialization in a multichannel configuration with a multimodal interaction interface. The spatializer, called SMuSIM, employs interaction devices thatrange from the simple and well-established mouse and keyboard to a classical gaming used joystick (gamepad), finallyexploiting more advanced and innovative typologies basedon image analysis (as a webcam).
