Learnings from an Iterative Design Process for Technology-Mediated Audience Participation (TMAP) using Smartphones
Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Creative Technologies - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 14
Abstract
We discuss a setup for technology-mediated audience participation (TMAP)in live music using smartphones and high-frequency sound IDs in a playful setting. The audience needs to install a smartphone app. Using high-frequency sound IDs music samples and colors can be triggered on the audience’s smartphones without the need to have an internet connection. The resulting soundscape is determined by the samples and parameters selected by the artist as well as by the location audience members choose in the performance space. We present the technical basis and iterative explorative design process of such a system for TMAP. The learnings from the perspective of musicians were technical requirements such as low latency, reliability, as well as increasing the number of possible sound samples and sound quality and we further present learnings on creating systems for TMAP from technical and creative perspectives.

Templates as heuristics for proving properties of medical devices
This paper briefly describes how property templates have been used to analyse and explore the interactive behaviour of a specific medical device (an IV infusion pump). It is proposed that interactive devices that satisfy...
Varianish: Jamming with Pattern Repetition
In music, patterns and pattern repetition are often regarded as a machine-like task, indeed often delegated to drum Machines and sequencers. Nevertheless, human players add subtle differences and variations to repeated p...
QoE-Aware Device-to-Device Multimedia Communications
Multimedia services over mobile device-to-device (D2D) networks has recently received considerable attention. In this scenario, each device is equipped with a cellular communication interface, as well as a D2D interface...
A taxonomy of camera calibration and video projection correction methods
This paper provides a classification of calibration methods for cameras and projectors. From basic homography to complex geometric calibration methods, this paper aims at simplifying the choice of the methods to perform...
Assessing the efficacy of benchmarks for automatic speech accent recognition
Speech accents can possess valuable information about the speaker, and can be used in intelligent multimedia-based human-computer interfaces. The performance of algorithms for automatic classification of accents is often...
