We present iSymphony, an interactive orchestral conducting system for digital audio and video that adaptively adjusts to the user's conducting style. Using a digital baton, users may control the tempo, volume, and instrument emphasis of a digital audio and video recording of an orchestra. The system adaptively recognizes three gesture profiles: the four-beat neutrallegato pattern, an up-down pattern, and random gestures. The system uses an audio time-stretching algorithm we developed that allows the playback speed of a digital audio recording to be arbitrarily adjusted without changing its pitch. iSymphony is an example of how computers can enable more people to experience an interaction style normally limited to a few people (conductors), and is installed as part of the It's Artastic! exhibit at the Betty Brinn Children's Museum in Milwaukee, USA.
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.
