Using IR Optical Marker Based Motion Capture for Exploring Musical Interaction

Ståle A. Skogstad, Alexander Refsum Jensenius, and Kristian Nymoen

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract:

The paper presents a conceptual overview of how optical infrared marker based motion capture systems (IrMoCap) can be used in musical interaction. First we present a review of related work of using IrMoCap for musical control. This is followed by a discussion of possible features which can be exploited. Finally, the question of mapping movement features to sound features is presented and discussed.
