This paper presents an overview of a system for the acquisition and analysis of a conductor's hand gesture. Multiple wiimotes are used to capture 3D position and 3D acceleration data which describe the movements. These are then analysed and fed back to the user using sonification and visualisation. An alternative method for using wiimotes to track 3D position is implemented; data segmentation, three analysis modules and a sonification method are also described. Whilst primarily designed with conducting in mind, the system described should provide a highly useful tool in a study of all forms of musical expression through gesture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
