Experimental Evaluation of Three Interaction Channels for Accessible Digital Musical Instruments

Accessible Music for Everyone: Discovering Resources

“…Furthermore, the field of accessible digital musical instruments (ADMI), dedicated to instruments designed for people with disabilities, is growing rapidly, with the recognition that adaptations of existing digital musical instruments can promote inclusive music making [14][15][16]. ADMI offer opportunities to engage with a wider range of sounds than acoustic instruments can provide.…”

“…ADMI offer opportunities to engage with a wider range of sounds than acoustic instruments can provide. Some ADMI use eye-tracking through head movements [14][15][16], releasing the user from interfaces dependence such as keyboard and mouse to interact with sounds. Furthermore, some authors have implemented a simple study method, based on a set of exercises, to aid the use of ADMI [16], thus providing greater opportunities for exploration, improvisation, empowerment and fluidity in music production for users with or without SN [14][15][16][17][18][19]22].…”

FAIME: A Framework for AI-Assisted Musical Devices

“…Peter is very fond of music, and he hears from a musician friend of the existence of a wearable device that uses sounds to promote sport activity and to change your own body perception. He starts using MagicShoes [27] and finally finds a way to help him reduce weight in a fun way that adequately fits his tastes and habits. A future update includes machine learning capabilities so that the device selects music based on the user preferences.…”

“…In our last scenario, we use the term magiFlute for our proposed instrument, as its housemate, the "Magic Flute," is a completely different existing ADMI, which is an EWI that is controlled by very small head movements [27]. This instrument is played by Ellen, who has a spinal cord injury as a result of a motorcycle accident.…”
