Abstract :
We present a flexible and inexpensive system for analyzing gesture data in a computer. Several basic data reductions are introduced, and the tradeoff between latency and reliability is discussed. An example of the application of this technology to musical performance is presented via the example of the radio drum, a musical controller that produces eight channels of gestural data. The advantages of analyzing this data stream in software are exposed, and future applications of the technology are presented.
