Sonic interaction with a virtual orchestra of factory machinery
This work addresses interactive entertainment and educational experiences for public exhibition attendees, but it is incremental as it applies existing immersive technology to a novel theme.
The paper presents an immersive application where users act as conductors of a virtual orchestra of factory machinery, receiving spatialized audio and visual feedback for their interactions. The application was exhibited at the 2013 Science and Music day using a large immersive system with head tracking and a 10.2 loudspeaker setup.
This paper presents an immersive application where users receive sound and visual feedbacks on their interactions with a virtual environment. In this application, the users play the part of conductors of an orchestra of factory machines since each of their actions on interaction devices triggers a pair of visual and audio responses. Audio stimuli were spatialized around the listener. The application was exhibited during the 2013 Science and Music day and designed to be used in a large immersive system with head tracking, shutter glasses and a 10.2 loudspeaker configuration.
