The Virtual Conductor
project is an exploration into the human-machine interface issues
and applications involving music tempo and its control through
natural gestures. A special accelerometer-equipped baton
updates the computer of the would-be conductor’s lead and
directs a computer-controlled midi orchestra. Applications include
music education, tempo exercises, and entertainment such as karaoke
tempo control. IMTC is currently working on using the Virtual Conductor
for research into a human gesture-based tempo tracker for possible
use as a music education tool for children.
