“…In [8], a tool called OscCalibrator was introduced, that was able to create continuous multidimensional mappings between input and output parameters based on a simplex interpolation scheme. The tool was used in an authoring-by-demonstration manner to create prototypical interactions for a virtual studio environment [6].…”

In this paper an approach for creating natural interactions is discussed, which can be used to facilitate the authoring of interactive live audiovisual performances. The approach is supported by flexible, yet simple software tools and combines spatial mapping, gesture following and fuzzy logic in a way that enables the configuration and authoring of complex interactive mechanisms by demonstration. Due to the connectivity properties of the tools, the approach can be easily incorporated in almost any workflow for creating interactive installation or live performance applications, utilizing sensor and tracking data and combining it with other real-time parameters to drive the behavior of elements, which performers can interact with. This approach was used to facilitate the creation of a gestural interface for a conductor, which enabled him to control a virtual pianist during a live music performance by moving his hands in a natural manner. This gestural interface was configured by letting the conductor demonstrate the desired gestures and by feeding the resulting tracking data to the tools. The advantages and shortcomings of using such an approach are presented and discussed.

“…In [6] a tool allowing for the demonstrational configuration of parameter dependencies was introduced and showcased inside a virtual studio environment. Its name was OscCalibrator and could be easily interfaced with almost any modern virtual studio or other real-time media production environment through the use of the Open Sound Control protocol [7] (OSC).…”

In this work, a rapid prototyping approach for natural real-time interactions in virtual studio environments was used, in order to facilitate the creation of an interactive virtual robotic arm, that could be controlled by hand movements in a natural manner. The approach focuses on tracking a person and manipulating control parameters as a way of steering interactions. It has two main aspects. The first one is the authoring of spatial relationships between the person and the virtual environment. The second aspect is the use of gesture following to synchronize various animations or event sequences inside the virtual environment to the corresponding person's movements. Both aspects allow for a programming-by-demonstration approach and, combined, enable developers to rapidly create interactions by providing examples directly inside the blue or green box of the virtual studio.
