Title
iSymphony: an adaptive interactive orchestral conducting system for digital audio and video streams
Abstract
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 neutral-legato 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.
