The Sound Forest : Smartphone-aktiverad modulering av musik genom kroppsliga rörelser (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

There is a growing interest in designing for whole body interactions in the field of Human–Computer Interaction, where numerous researchers are using this knowledge for creating new age digital musical instruments, with the secondary focus on creating inclusive music creation mediums for all. The aim was to create a new interaction medium for Sound Forest, a digital musical instrument at Stockholm Museum of Performing Arts. In this report we have used an Android app to allow users to modulate sound created by the Sound Forest by their hand movements. The app was tested and evaluated by 9 individual users, where they were told to use the app and were asked to try to modulate the sound with their hands while holding the phone in their hand. They were asked to fill a Google Form that inquired about their experience and asked about their informal feedback regarding the process. The data was visualised and observed, where one can see the moderate success of the mappings and visual feedback provided by the app. Qualitative suggestions provided by the users were recorded for future development and evaluation.

Abstract [sv]

Det finns ett växande intresse för att designa interaktioner av hela kroppen inom området människa–datorinteraktion, där många forskare använder denna kunskap för att skapa nya digitala musikinstrument, samt för att skapa inkluderande musikskapande medier lämpliga för alla. Syftet var att skapa ett nytt interaktionsmedium för Sound Forest, ett digitalt musikinstrument vid Stockholms Scenkonstmuseum. I den här rapporten har vi använt en Androidapp för att tillåta användare att modulera ljud som skapas av Sound Forest genom sina handrörelser. Appen testades och utvärderades av 9 individuella användare, där de blev tillsagda att använda appen och ombads att försöka modulera ljudet med händerna medan de höll telefonen i handen. De ombads att fylla i ett Google-formulär angående deras upplevelse samt deras informella feedback angående processen. Datan visualiserades och observerades, vilket visade framgången av kartläggningarna och den visuella feedback som kom från appen. Kvalitativa förslag från användarna registrerades för framtida utveckling och utvärdering.
