A Musical Serious Game for Social Interaction through Augmented Rhythmic Improvisation. |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Making music with other people is a social activity as well as an artistic one. Music therapists take advantage of the social aspects of music to obtain benefits for the patients, interacting with them musically, but this activity requires an high level of expertise. We propose a serious game that helps people even without musical skills interact with each other by collaboratively creating a rhythm with MIDI drum pads. The gaming system analyzes the rhythm in real time to add a musical feedback that enhances the aesthetical experience that is a crucial part of the musical interaction. The system is evaluated through a questionnaire asking subjects who tried in couples the system if they perceived it as helping their interaction. Despite the early development stage of the game, the results of the questionnaire show positive reception.
