Abstract

MyoSpat is an interactive audio-visual system that aims to
augment musical performances by empowering musicians
and allowing them to directly manipulate sound and light
projections through hand gestures. We present the second
iteration of the system which draws from research findings
that emerged from an evaluation of the first system.
MyoSpat 2 is designed and developed using the Myo ges-
ture control armband as input device and Pure Data (Pd) as
gesture recognition and audio-visual engine. The system is
informed by human-computer interaction (HCI) principles:
tangible computing and embodied, sonic and music inter-
action design (MiXD). This paper reports a description of
the system and its audio-visual feedback design. Finally,
we present an evaluation of the system, its potential use in
different multimedia contexts and in exploring embodied,
sonic and music interaction principles.
