Title
A music application for visually impaired people using daily goods and stationeries on the table
Abstract
Music applications, like a GarageBand, have become more popular today because they afford intuitive comfortable visual interface for users to play, remix, and compose music. But visually impaired people have difficulties to use such a software application. Therefore, this paper introduces a novel music interface for visually impaired people using daily goods and stationery on the table. An experimental system was developed with Kinect for AR marker and gesture recognition, and with sounds of three instruments, the piano, the guitar and the percussion. Five blind young people participated in the evaluation of right combination of the goods. The results shows that the proposed interface is effective both single use and collaborative work.
