Interactive digital violin tutor (IDVT): an edutainment system for violin learners

Published: 13 June 2007 Publication History

Abstract

We present in this demo our current design of an Interactive Digital Violin Tutor (iDVT), which enables students to have reflective practice when human teachers are not available. iDVT combines violin audio transcription with visualization. Our transcription method is designed for violin audio recorded in home environments. The visualization is designed to be useful to people with different level of music knowledge. The different visualization modalities-video, 2D fingerboard animation, 3D avatar animation-help learners to practice and learn more effectively. The entire system has been implemented with off-the-shelf hardware and shown to be practical in home environments.
